“…They were able to extract polygalacturonase enzyme produced by Streptomyces lydicus in the solid mixture while at the same time obtaining processed banana fibers. John and Anandjiwala (2009) reviewed several methods on the surface modification of a wide range of natural fibers including banana fibers for textile purposes, which involved wet chemical processing and ionized gas treatments.…”

Banana (Musaceae) is one of the world's most important fruit crops that is widely cultivated in tropical countries for its valuable applications in food industry. Its enormous by-products are an excellent source of highly valuable raw materials for other industries by recycling agricultural waste. This prevents an ultimate loss of huge amount of untapped biomass and environmental issues. This review discusses extensively the breakthrough in the utilization of banana by-products such as peels, leaves, pseudostem, stalk and inflorescence in various food and non-food applications serving as thickening agent, coloring and flavor, alternative source for macro and micronutrients, nutraceuticals, livestock feed, natural fibers, and sources of natural bioactive compounds and bio-fertilizers. Future prospects and challenges are the important key factors discussed in association to the sustainability and feasibility of utilizing these by-products. It is important that all available by-products be turned into highly commercial outputs in order to sustain this renewable resource and provide additional income to small scale farming industries without compromising its quality and safety in competing with other commercial products.

“…Surface modification of textiles is of great importance, because it allows to enhance some necessary properties of textiles such as softness, dyeability, adhesion and wettability. They can be chemical modification or physical modification [16]. Of the different kinds of surface modification techniques applied, plasma treatment appears to be the most commonly used with good results and environmental benefits [16][17][18].…”

Cotton fabric treated by Pyrovatex CP New (PCN) and Knittex FFRC (K-FFRC) using the Pad-dry-cure method showed an excellent fire-retardant effect. However, it needed to be cured at high temperatures for a long time leading to a high loss of mechanical strength. In this study, atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharge (APDBD) plasma was applied to the cotton fabric, which then was treated by flame retardants (FRs) using the pad–dry-cure method. The purpose was to have a flame-retardant cotton fabric (limiting oxygen index (LOI) ≥ 25) and a mechanical loss of the treated fabric due to the curing step as low as possible. To achieve this goal, 10 experiments were performed. The vertical flammability characteristics, LOI value and tensile strength of the treated fabrics were measured. A response model between the LOI values of the treated fabric and two studied variables (temperature and time of the curing step) was found. It was predicted that the optimal temperature and time-to-cure to achieve LOI of 25 was at 160 °C for 90 s, while the flame-retardant treatment process without plasma pretreatment, was at 180 °C and 114 s. Although the curing temperature and the time have decreased significantly, the loss of mechanical strength of the treated fabric is still high. The tensile strength and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the fabric after plasma activation show that the plasma treatment itself also damages the mechanical strength of the fabric. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra of the fabric after plasma activation and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis of the flame retardant-treated (FRT) fabric clarified the role of plasma activation in this study.

“…There are many different kinds of textile materials in use, as well as various printing techniques that can be used to print them (Dawson & Hawkyard, 2000;John & Anandjiwala, 2009;Stančić et al, 2014;Jurič et al, 2015;Kašiković et al, 2015). Printing techniques suitable for printing of textile materials are: screen printing, digital printing and thermal transfer printing (Novaković, Kašiković & Vladić, 2010).…”

Two polyamide knitwear used in the production of swimwear were analysed. This paper examines the water retention value, the water absorption value and the colour difference after the repeated exposure of the polyamide knitted fabrics, printed with screen printing technique, to the chlorinated water. Screen printing of the samples results in an increase of the water retention value and reduction of the water absorption value for both materials. The colour difference after the series of exposures to the chlorinated water (ΔE) showed that the trend is the same for all reproduced colours (CMYK), i.e. that the increase in the number of exposures to the chlorinated water results in the increase of the difference between the reproduced colours, for both materials.KEY WORDS screen printing, textile printing, colour fastness to chlorinated water, water retention value, water absorption value Colour fastness of screen printed polyamide knitwear to chlorinated water Original scientific paper http://doi.
