A salt-free, zero-discharge and dyebath-recyclable circular coloration technology based on cationic polyelectrolyte complex for cotton fabric dyeing
Wang W.Y. Chiou J.C. Chen W.X. Yu J.L. Kan C.W.*
DOI: 10.1007/s10570-021-04353-0
This study introduces a sustainable circular dyeing technology for cotton fabrics, featuring zero-effluent discharge and dyebath recyclability. The method not only cuts textile pollution but also imparts antimicrobial properties, offering an eco-friendly solution to reduce the industry's environmental impact. Read more
Biosafety evaluation and quantitative determination of poly (hexamethylene biguanide) (PHMB) coated on cellulosic fabrics by Kubelka–Munk equation
Wang W.Y. Chiou J.C. Chen W.X. Yu J.Y. Kan C.W.*
DOI: 10.1007/s10570-021-03939-y
This study presents a method to quantify cationic finishing agents on cellulosic fabrics using the Kubelka–Munk equation. Findings reveal maximum PHMB adsorption around 8 mg/g and establish a safe, non-cytotoxic PHMB level for biosafety, offering crucial insights for fabric treatment. Read more
