“…The study conducted by (Yasin et al, 2019, [ 206 ]) elaborated on certain points for technical textile waste. Initially, the Life Cycle Assessment method for end-of-life is feasible if the waste treatment depends on the technical textile functionality instead of common textile waste.…”

At present, nanotechnology is a priority in research in several nations due to its massive capability and financial impact. However, due to the uncertainties and abnormalities in shape, size, and chemical compositions, the existence of certain nanomaterials may lead to dangerous effects on the human health and environment. The present review includes the different advanced applications of nanomaterials in textiles industries, as well as their associated environmental and health risks. The four main textile industry fields using nanomaterials, nanofinishing, nanocoatings, nanofibers, and nanocomposites, are analyzed. Different functional textiles with nanomaterials are also briefly reviewed. Most textile materials are in direct and prolonged contact with our skin. Hence, the influence of carcinogenic and toxic substances that are available in textiles must be comprehensively examined. Proper recognition of the conceivable benefits and accidental hazards of nanomaterials to our surroundings is significant for pursuing its development in the forthcoming years. The conclusions of the current paper are anticipated to increase awareness on the possible influence of nanomaterial-containing textile wastes and the significance of better regulations in regards to the ultimate disposal of these wastes.

“…Technical textiles have been regarded as textile manufactured for their technical and functional features, rather than for their decorative and aesthetic characteristics. The rapid development of technical textiles has made them be widely used in various fields, such as garments [ 1 , 2 ], the military [ 3 ], the medical field [ 4 ], and transportation, and it has aroused the interest of a wide variety of researchers [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. One of the largest markets for technical textiles is the automobile industry, which uses an average of 20 kg for each of the 45 million or so cars produced globally each year [ 8 ].…”

With the rapid development of technical textiles, more and more researchers have focused on developing high performance textiles to meet various needs. The automotive industry is a major market for technical textiles. Compared to other types of fabric, weft-knitted fabric has good extensibility and elasticity, as well as a hand-feel, and it is gradually becoming the preferred type of interior fabric for automobiles. This paper aims to develop an automotive fabric with good comfort and durability. Sixteen types of weft-knitted fabrics with eight different structures and two different materials (draw textured polyester and textured polyamide yarn) were fabricated using a computerized flat knitting machine. Their durability and level of comfort were examined by measuring the tensile and tear strengths, abrasion resistance and air permeability. A fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was employed to compare the comprehensive properties of the fabric. The results indicated that the overall performance of DTPA fabric was better than DTPE fabric, and an optimum structure was selected for an automotive interior. Meanwhile, we found that the air permeability of the fabric could be increased by using tuck stitches and that the strength and dimensional stability of fabric could be increased by adding tuck stitches and weft-insert yarns. The findings contribute to the field of technical textiles and provide ideas for the development of high-performance textiles.

“…In the waste hierarchy, landfill being least preferable [9] and due to leachate of flame retardant chemicals [10], incineration is used commonly. Incineration constitutes a vast repository for toxic chemicals along with manmade or natural fibers, posing environmental emissions [11,12]. Even in developed countries, combustion of domestic waste in barrels, open pile, household heating stoves, primitive incinerators or fireplaces is carried on, significantly [13].…”

“…Concerns over emissions of dioxin and similar persistent organic contaminants from the incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW) have been shown in various studies [16,17]. On the other hand, MSW combustion from other thermal valorization technologies, especially flame retardants is rather limited to date [12,18]. Thermal valorization technology like gasification is considered a more favorable method compared to incineration, as it converts material (biomass/organic mostly) to multipurpose fuel gas, known as the syngas [10,19].…”

Renewable energy from thermal valorization plays a key part in today’s energy from natural cellulosic textiles that are resourceful biomass and safe from toxicity at high temperature treatments. The situation is opposite, when technical textiles are treated with synthetic chemical finishes adding functionality as anti-bacterial, water repellent or flame retardant, etc. Incineration of flame retardant textile results in possible unfavorable gases, toxic fumes and contaminated ash. Other thermal valorization techniques like gasification would assist in avoiding the formation of additional toxic hazards. Herein, gasification of flame retardant textile is carried out the likelihood to get quality gas composition. For comparative analysis, flame retardant textiles, after their flame retardant ability being revoked, are also gasified. The output gas components suggested that gasification can be a useful thermal valorization approach for flame retardant textiles and relevantly improved gas composition was seen in textiles with their flame retardant substrate/species being removed.
