However, the brittleness and poor flexibility of these films limit their possible applications. Herein, two hydrophilic plasticizers, including glycerol (Glyc) and propylene glycol (PG), were used to improve FNF flexibility. Fibroin nanofibers were blended with glycerol or propylene glycol at concentrations of approximately 23% and 50% w/w (based on the FNF weight), and their individual effects on the chemical, structural, mechanical, and thermal properties of the obtained FNF films were evaluated. Glycerol exhibited a stronger plasticizing effect than propylene glycol. As the concentration of glycerol increased, the flexibility of FNF increased proportionally, although water solubility also increased. In contrast, no plasticization was observed at low PG concentrations, whereas at higher concentrations, a minimal plasticization effect was observed. Moreover, PG-plasticized films exhibited higher water absorption capacity and maintained good stability in water. Both glycerol and propylene glycol exhibited antibacterial activity against <i>Escherichia coli</i> under the tested acidic conditions, with inhibition zones of around 7 and 9 mm, respectively. Unexpectedly, only films of plasticized propylene glycol composites exhibited minimal antibacterial activity, likely due to reduced concentration or entrapment within the polymer matrix. These findings provide new insights into using hydrophilic plasticizers to tune the structure–property relationships of fibroin nanofibers and highlight their potential as flexible, sustainable biomaterials for biomedical applications.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><p>Illustration of the impact of glycerol and propylene glycol on the secondary structure of nanofibrillated fibroin nanofibers (FNFs)\u0000</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":557,"journal":{"name":"Fibers and Polymers","volume":"27 11","pages":"5227 - 5241"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149176403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, the effects of the modified rutile TiO₂ nanorod content on the morphology, mechanical properties, aging resistance, UV protection performance, and heat resistance of the prepared C-PE/TiO₂ blended fibers were investigated. The results indicated that the blended fibers containing 3 wt% rutile TiO₂ nanorods achieved good comprehensive performance. After 60 days of outdoor exposure under various conditions during summer, the C-PE/TiO₂ blended fibers showed high strength retention rates of 88.0% in seawater, 94.5% in distilled water, and 93.9% under natural sunlight. Furthermore, after 288 h of UV light aging, the strength retention remained at 93.7%. The strength retention rates of the C-PE/TiO₂ blended fibers were significantly higher than those of the C-PE fibers. The blended fibers also exhibited an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 533.49. Thermal analysis revealed that the fibers exhibited an increased heat deformation temperature, from 85.75 to 98.46 °C. This study demonstrated that incorporating modified rutile TiO₂ nanorods into PE effectively produced fibers with enhanced aging resistance and UV protection for outdoor applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":557,"journal":{"name":"Fibers and Polymers","volume":"27 11","pages":"5363 - 5379"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149176844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, four different auxetic fabric samples were developed by varying the float length of the binder yarn. The results show that as float length increases, the fabric's thickness, areal density, and thread density initially increase due to the elastic yarn in the weft and then decrease due to fewer interlacement points. The in-plane auxeticity, shear resistance, and tensile properties follow a similar trend, initially increasing and decreasing with float length. Auxetic fabrics demonstrated superior peak loads and energy absorption in various tests. This research highlights the importance of optimizing float length to achieve desired auxetic properties, intending to develop 3D auxetic fabrics for advanced energy absorption applications.

This study compared the reactive-dyeability of regular polyurethane (RPU) and amine-rich polyurethane (ARPU) using nine commercial dyes representing vinyl sulfone (VS), bis-monochlorotriazine (Bis-MCT), and VS+MCT chemistries, followed by model same-bath dyeing with cotton, time-dependent dyeing analysis, and validation using industrial cotton/polyurethane single-jersey fabrics. ARPU showed substantially higher and strongly dye-dependent color strength than RPU, with the greatest coloration obtained for the VS-type dyes. At 2.0%omf, the color strengths of ARPU dyed with VS-B19, VS-Bk5, and VS-B21 were approximately 28.3-, 37.1-, and 8.8-fold higher, respectively, than those of RPU, while cotton coloration remained broadly comparable between the cotton/RPU and cotton/ARPU systems. The RPU–ARPU difference became more pronounced after alkali addition, consistent with a contribution from the higher relative abundance of secondary-amine functionality in ARPU to interactions or reactions with activated reactive dyes. Enhanced ARPU coloration was not accompanied by systematic deterioration in washing, perspiration, rubbing, or light fastness. The levelness parameter increased from 3.82 ± 0.083 for cotton/RPU to 4.68 ± 0.104 for cotton/ARPU, and reduced grin-through was observed under 10% extension.

Carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers have emerged as promising candidates for the fabrication of flexible strain sensors due to their exceptional flexibility, remarkably high specific surface area, outstanding mechanical properties, and excellent electrical conductivity. However, interstitial voids between CNT bundles constitute structural defects that impair both load-bearing capacity and electron transport efficiency. This limitation can be effectively mitigated by incorporating metal nanoparticles, which not only fill these voids but also enhance composite performance through their intrinsic low electrical resistance and exceptional chemical inertness. In this study, MXene was utilized as a reducing agent to directly reduce platinum particles from chloroplatinic acid and autonomously grow into the voids of carbon nanotube yarns without the need for additional reducing agents. This modification strategy resulted in substantial enhancements in both mechanical and electrical properties: The tensile strength of platinum-modified CNT yarns increased from 121.2 to 137.27 MPa (13.3% increase), while electrical conductivity demonstrated an 85.3% improvement from 6.18×10⁴ S/m to 11.45×10⁴ S/m.

To enhance bioactivity, the scaffolds were surface-activated, and a microwave-assisted calcium phosphate (Ca-P) coating was applied in a biomimetic medium. Morphological evaluation using field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a uniform, interconnected porous architecture in uncoated scaffolds, while Ca-P-coated scaffolds exhibited a continuous apatite layer, which was confirmed by cross-sectional SEM micrographs. The X-ray diffraction analysis identified characteristic semi-crystalline PEEK peaks, along with additional Ca-P phases, after coating of the scaffolds. All coatings demonstrated strong adhesion to the scaffolds, as indicated by the 5B ratings for P60C and P70C in the cross-cut adhesion test. The measured porosity closely matched the initial porogen content. Water absorption increased with porosity, reaching 69.02% for the scaffold with the highest porosity (P70). Mechanical testing showed a compressive strength of ≈ 132.48 MPa for P70, which is suitable for load-bearing orthopaedic implants. Biological assessments demonstrated enhanced protein adsorption, haemocompatibility (haemolysis &lt; 5%), and optimal in vitro bioactivity in Ca-P-coated scaffolds. Cell culture studies with MG-63 osteoblast-like cells demonstrated superior cell viability and adhesion, particularly with the highly porous P70C scaffold. Therefore, the developed Ca-P-coated CF-PEEK scaffold exhibited an optimal balance of mechanical integrity, bioactivity, and cytocompatibility, making it a strong candidate for orthopaedic applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":557,"journal":{"name":"Fibers and Polymers","volume":"27 11","pages":"5593 - 5610"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149176725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
