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 …

Inspired by the superhydrophobic lotus surface in nature, special wettability has attracted a
lot of interest and attention in both academia and industry. In this review, theoretical models …

Inspired by the classic dye-fixing process, a novel eco-friendly biomass-based coating that
neither used traditional elements such as Cl, Br, P nor toxic organic solvents was first …

Environmentally-friendly monofilament cellulosic fibres have been widely used as
alternatives for conventional steel reinforcement within concrete. Recently, the use of …

Flame-retardant (FR) cotton fabrics were successfully prepared with the reactive product of

In this study, a bio-based coating was constructed by sol-gel technique deposition based on
γ-ureidopropyltriethoxysilane (TESPR) and ammonia phytate (AP) to acquire fire-safety …

Chitosan was added to cotton fabrics coated with sodium phytate and 3-Aminopropyl
triethoxysilane (APTES) to further enhance the fire retardant property by the layer-by-layer …

Oil leakage and discharge of industrial organic solvents are the main reasons for the oily
wastewater. The separation of oil/water emulsions has been a global challenge due to the …

Due to the increasing pollution produced by the textile industry, environmentally friendly
methods are becoming extremely important. In this work, silk fabrics (SFs) were modified …

Multifuntional fabrics with special wettability have attracted a lot of interest in both
