  1. Green dyeing of polyamide with increased anti-UV properties. [Excerpt] Introduction: During the last few decades, ecological concerns related to the use of the synthetic dyes, have led to a greater motivation for the development of processes that use natural products. This strategy has been applied to improve theincreasingly necessary sustainability of wet textile processes.Natural dyes are available in nature in different shadesandthey can be exploited for. 2019.

  2. Hydrogel surface functionalization of cotton to improve wound dressing applicability. [Excerpt] Introduction: Cotton still are the most used substract for wound management. However, textiles can cause wound dehydration and became mechanically anchored to the wound’ surface, turning their change in a painful process. To overcome these drawbacks, modification of cellulosic textiles has been extensively study to improve their application as wound dressing. Thus, our group developed a. 2018.

  3. A multifunctional cotton fabric using TiO2 and PCMs: introducing thermal comfort and self-cleaning properties. The development of materials with multiple functionalities is a market imperative that places new challenges on textile processing. The purpose of this study was to establish the conditions to obtain a cotton material that is comfortable, with self-cleaning and antimicrobial properties. For this purpose, microcapsules of phase change materials (mPCM) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NP) we. 2017. Scacchetti, Fabio Alexandre Pereira; Pinto, E.; Soares, Graça M.

  4. PVC-based synthetic leather with thermal comfort for automobile applications. Increasingly consumers are demanding cars to be comfortable even for more economic commercial segments. Thus, the development of materials with thermo-regulation properties assumed renewed interest. An attempt has been made to prepare multi-layer PVC-based synthetic leather with paraffinic PCM´s to be applied on car seats. The thermal behaviour of the material was analysed using a thermal manikin. 2017. Abreu, Maria José; Soares, Graça M. B.; Santos, Jorge Gomes. http://hdl.handle.net/1822/46700.
  5. PVC-based synthetic leather to provide more comfortable and sustainable vehicles. Consumers are increasingly demanding the interior of cars to be comfortable even in the case of more economic commercial segments. Thus, the development of materials with thermoregulation properties has assumed renewed interest for these particular applications. An attempt has been made to prepare a multilayer PVC-based synthetic leather with paraffinic PCMs to be applied on a car seat. The therma. 2017.
