Electron beam irradiation treatment of textiles materials: a review

Abstract

Electron beam irradiation technology has gained more attention as it appears to be a promising economically and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional wet-chemical processing. It is an advanced approach that is clean, solvent-free, time-saving, and ecologically benign with acceptable handling and operation properties. This review provides a study of the latest literature on the technology of electron beam irradiation surface modification of textile. Considerable emphasis is also placed on the most novel applications of electron beam irradiation such as the functionalization of textile materials, which leads to the development of alternative sustainable techniques or revolutionary advanced materials soon.

Electron beam irradiation modified carboxymethyl chitin microsphere-based hemostatic materials with strong blood cell adsorption for hemorrhage control

“…At the same time, radiation at high dose rates may damage the structure of the polymer, which would significantly affect its inherent properties. 31 Therefore, the dose rate of 5 kGy per pass was chosen for the irradiation of the CCM in the following sections.…”

Sustainable preparation of cellulose nanocrystals: state of the art and perspectives

“…In recent years, electron beam irradiation (EBI) has emerged as a sustainable and promising technique for enhancing the physiochemical properties of materials and reducing undesirable contaminants, considering its advantages such as convenient and mild operation conditions, low environmental impact, short treatment time, and low energy consumption. 140,141 Recent studies have proved that EBI could serve as an efficient pretreatment approach for biofuel production from various biomass feedstocks. [142][143][144] EBI treatment results in the generation of free radicals by cleavage of glycosidic bonds or by the removal of hydrogen from the glucose moiety followed by another degradation process.…”

“…Due to this movement, the heat is transferred to the volume of the material. An increase in the speed of the specimen will decrease the heat input [3][4][5].…”
