In this study, scCO₂ dyeing of polyester fabric using madder as a natural dye was investigated and optimized without the use of any other chemicals. Response surface methodology and Box–Behnken design were utilized to design the experiments and optimize the effects of dyeing temperature, pressure, and time on the color strength of the dyed fabrics. According to the experimental design, a set of 15 dyeing trials were carried out, and the color coordinates and color strengths of the samples were measured. Among several models, the quadratic model exhibited the best fit to the experimental data, while temperature had the most significant influence on color strength. According to the established model, the optimal conditions were suggested as 118 °C, 20 MPa, and 73 min. The dyed fabric exhibited good washing and rubbing durability properties because the dye successfully diffused into the fabric. This offers a promising alternative to conventional high-temperature, high-chemical polyester dyeing methods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":557,"journal":{"name":"Fibers and Polymers","volume":"25 12","pages":"4795 - 4806"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142778545","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}

Nevertheless, the problem of agglomeration significantly decreases its adsorption capacity, and the difficulties in separation and recycling after adsorption impede its practical use. Herein, in this work, we introduce a more cost-effective and simplified approach to fabricate porous network Fe(OH)₃/BC (bacterial cellulose) composites by adsorbing Fe³⁺ on BC nanofibers and subsequently treating them with alkali. This method enables the in situ growth of dispersed Fe(OH)₃ nanoparticles on the BC nanofibers surface, thus creating a high effective adsorbent. Moreover, anchoring Fe(OH)₃ to the surface of BC nanofibers addresses the issue of separating Fe(OH)₃ nanoparticles from the solution after adsorption. The theoretical maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity (<i>q</i>_m) of Fe(OH)₃/BC for congo red at pH 7, 25℃ and a shaking speed of 120 rpm reached 725.7 mg/g in 24 h, which was significantly higher than that achieved by BC or Fe(OH)₃ powder alone. In addition, Fe(OH)₃/BC exhibited excellent reusability, with removal efficiencies exceeding 92% and 78% after the 5th and 10th cycles of adsorption, respectively. This innovative approach not only simplifies fabrication processes and enables easy separation after adsorption, but also improved capacity for congo red removal.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":557,"journal":{"name":"Fibers and Polymers","volume":"25 12","pages":"4575 - 4586"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142778206","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}

Researchers are always focusing on enhancing the strength and hardness of the layers, often known as interlaminar characteristics. This study investigates the feasibility of hybrid composites fabricated through the utilization of plain weaving techniques. Four different hybrid composites were created by weaving flax and hemp threads with stainless steel wire mesh, infusing them with epoxy resin, and reinforcing them with hand-laid hemp and flax fibers. The composites were produced using different combinations of hemp and flax yarns, resulting in the following variations: hemp fiber with weaving on wire mesh using hemp yarn 1 (H1), hemp fiber with alternative weaving on wire mesh using hemp yarn and flax yarn 2 (H2), flax fiber with weaving on wire mesh using flax yarn 1 (F1), and flax fiber with alternative weaving on wire mesh using flax yarn and hemp yarn (F2). The composites underwent ASTM standard assessments to determine their hardness, impact resistance, flexural properties, and tensile strength. The tensile test indicates that the maximum values were obtained in F2 (42.38 MPa) and H2 (38.61 MPa). The tensile strength of F2 is 8.89% higher than that of H2. H2 has a flexural strength of 85.12 MPa, which is 8.12% greater than H1. Similarly, F2 exhibits a 9.05% increase in strength compared to F1. The impact strength of the composite material used in F2 is 9.95 J, which is higher than the impact strength of other composites such as F1, H1, and H2. Material H2 has a significant 15.13% enhancement in impact resistance when compared to the other composites. The maximum hardness of composite F2 is 31.8VHN, which exceeds the average hardness of other composites by 10.29%. Integrating weaving techniques into wire mesh entails utilizing flax fiber and hemp fibers, which have a substantial impact on its mechanical properties, leading to enhanced flexibility, resistance to impact, ability to be stretched, and tensile strength.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":557,"journal":{"name":"Fibers and Polymers","volume":"25 12","pages":"4873 - 4883"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142778288","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}
