Study on the Crosslinking of Glycerol Triglycidyl Ether and Lyocell Based on Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Its Anti-Fibrillation Performance: from Simulation to Experiment

Abstract Lyocell is a regenerated cellulose fiber with high potential for sustainable textile applications, but its fibrillation remains a major limitation. Crosslinking can suppress fibrillation by constructing a network structure. However, its molecular-level behavior remains u...

Far infrared reflective sustainable fabrics integrated with moisture management property

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate sustainable fabrics integrating far-infrared (FIR) reflective functionality with enhanced moisture management performance. Design/methodology/approach Fabrics were engineered using various blends of biodegradable polyes...

Sustainable denim fabric development using jute-cotton blends: a viable strategy to reduce cotton consumption

Purpose This study aims to develop sustainable denim fabric by reducing cotton consumption through the use of cottonized jute–cotton blended yarn (Jutton) in the weft direction, while maintaining 100% cotton yarn in the warp, without compromising fabric performance. Design/method...

Engineering odor-control functional fabrics using activated carbons derived from textile wastes

Purpose The textile and apparel industry is a significant contributor to solid waste generation, and the transformation of these wastes into value-added products is essential for advancing circular economy principles and achieving zero-waste objectives. In this study, a waste-to-...

Textile solid waste management: circular economy and life cycle perspectives

The growing population and rising living standards have significantly increased textile production and textile waste generation worldwide. Handling and management of textile solid waste (TSW) is an emerging opportunity but also a challenge due to inadequate collection systems and...
