“…Polyester is well‐known for its excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties that can be processed through almost all the technologies available for textile. The most common polyester used for woven and nonwoven fiber manufacture is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) 59c,129. Graphene and its derivatives can be used for fabrication of PET/Graphene composites 133a,59b,99a,110b,115a,121,130.…”

Personal protective clothing is intended to protect the wearer from various hazards (mechanical, biological, chemical, thermal, radiological, etc.) and inhospitable environmental conditions that may cause harm or even death. There are various types of personal protective clothing, manufactured with different materials based on hazards and end user requirements. Conventional protective clothing has impediments such as high weight, bulky nature, lack of mobility, heat stress, low heat dissipation, high physical stress, diminishing dexterity, diminishing scope of vision, lack of breathability, and reduced protection against pathogens and hazards. By virtue of the superlative properties of graphene, fabrics modified with this material can be an effective means to overcome these limitations and to improve properties such as mechanical strength, antibacterial activity, flame resistance, conductivity, and UV resistance. The limitations of conventional personal protective equipment are discussed, followed by necessary measures which might be taken to improve personal protective equipment (PPE), the unique properties of graphene, methods of graphene incorporation in fabrics, and the current research status and potential of graphene‐modified performance textiles relevant to PPE.

“…Patents [8] and [9] describe composite structures obtained by joining two outer spunbond layers with an interior melt-blown layer (SMS), made of polypropylene or polypropylene and polyethylene, by means of a roll mill. Another configuration of such nonwovens is SSMMS [10]. Nevertheless it should be noted that the production of SMS com-ural fibres or artificial cellulose fibres).…”

Textile materials are used in protective footwear due to their good mechanical and hygienic properties and to provide thermal insulation. This work presents a technological process of designing ultrasonically welded composite structures characterised by various densities of welding spots. The study involved three variants of composite structures made of three layers. The composite structures developed were tested in terms of mechanical properties and were statistically analysed in terms of the effects of welding spot density and reinforcing nonwoven thickness on the protective parameters. Inserts made of ultrasonically spot-welded textile composite structures may offer protective footwear users greater comfort in terms of mechanical resistance. The evaluation method proposed may be a useful tool in assessing textile composite structure inserts for protective footwear.

“…Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer made by polymerizing of propylene molecules. PP fibres are widely used in nonwovens industry and occupy a share of about 63% of all fibres used for nonwoven production in the world (Das et al 2012). The filaments are produced from polymer by melt-spinning and used with all nonwoven technologies for applications such as geo-textiles, hygiene products, air purification systems and automotive parts.…”

The physico-mechanical and chemical properties of enzyme retting kenaf and shredded empty fruit bunch of oil palm fibres (EFB) were analyzed by chemical extraction, microscopic, spectroscopic, thermal and X-ray diffraction method. Polypropylene (PP), a petroleum based fibre, was also included to compare the properties of synthetic fibre with natural fibres. Chemical extraction analysis showed that cellulose was the major component in both kenaf and EFB fibres which are 54% and 41.34%, respectively. Silica content of EFB was 5.29% higher than kenaf that was 2.21%. The result of thermogravimetric analysis showed that kenaf has higher thermal decomposition rate compared to EFB fibre. However, the residue for EFB fibre was higher than kenaf due to higher content in inorganic materials. The residual content of PP fibre was only 1.13% which was lower than the natural fibre. The diameter of EFB fibre bundle was 341.7 µm that was three times higher than kenaf. Microscopy study demonstrated that EFB surface was rough, porous and embedded with silica while kenaf showed smooth surface with small pith. Higher porosity in EFB was due to the lower fibre density that was 1.5 kg/cm 3 compared to kenaf that was 1.62 kg/cm 3. Kenaf has illustrated significant higher tensile strength (426.4 MPa) than EFB (150 MPa) and this result is in parallel to the pattern of the crystalline value for both fibres, 65% and 50.58%, respectively.
