The presence and biodegradability of textile microfibers shed during laundering or use is an
important environmental issue. In this research, the influence of common textile finishes on …

The biodegradability of polymers depends on several factors. However, the most critical
aspects are the accessibility of the structure for moisture and enzyme diffusion and the …

Cellulose nanofibres (CNF) have emerged as advanced systems for controlled, smart
delivery of N-fertilizer owing to their surface modification properties. However, to realize the …

Sustainable biodegradation of cellulose fibers is critical for composting after the end of a
product's life. In this study, we aimed at investigating the effect of in situ synthesized CuO/Cu …

By taking a life cycle approach to study the potential for silver nanoparticle (AgNP) release
from functionalized textiles, we can estimate the relative importance of different phases to …

This study discusses the biodegradation behavior of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics
impregnated with Ag/TiO 2 nanoparticles in soil. Biodegradation behavior was evaluated by …

Textile industries use synthetic colourants that often pollute soil, and water, which could be
replaced with microbially derived pigment. The major aim of this study was to develop a …

Cotton is one of the most widely used natural fibers available. However, to overcome some
of its shortcomings, manufacturers have placed various finishes on cotton fabrics to improve …

Samples of bleached cellulose fabric were treated with weakly ionized highly dissociated
oxygen plasma in order to improve the binding of ZnO nanoparticles, antibacterial properties …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been applied as an antifungal agent, which results in
AgNPs contamination of agricultural waste that interferes with the lignocellulosic enzymes …
