Cotton, a natural textile fiber, is widely used worldwide due to its softness, comfort,
breathability, and other properties. However, the limit oxygen index value (LOI) of cotton is …

The commercial availability of inorganic/organic precursors for sol-gel formulations is very
high and increases day by day. In textile applications, the precursor-synthesized sol-gels …

In recent years, various functions including electrical conductivity, superhydrophobicity,
magnetism, flame retardancy and antibacterial activity have been considered to allow cotton …

In this study, we finished cotton fabrics with polyethylenimine (PEI)/melamine and phytic acid
(PA) by layer-by-layer assembly to enhance their flame retardant properties. Subsequently …

Currently, problems related to environmental compliance are meeting growing echo in
public opinion. This increase in awareness forces manufacturing companies to incorporate …

This work aims to prepare a series of sols based on Titanium (IV) butoxide (TBT) and using
boric acid as a functional additive. The sols were applied onto the cotton fabric by the pad …

Phosphorus-and nitrogen-containing compounds were grafted on a cotton fabric surface by
three steps. Firstly, the cotton fabric was oxidized by sodium periodate to form aldehyde …

The development of technical textiles allows the introduction of new, interesting and original
multi-functionalities in textiles through development of the architecture of fibres, yarns and …

In this paper, we report on the design of multifunctional cotton fabric with high hydrophobic,
water-repellent, water-oil separation, and self-cleaning properties by the sol-gel method …

Lightweight functional textiles play a crucial role in the development of modern protective
clothing. Unlike traditional multi-layer systems, which tend to increase weight considerably …
