Aligned with the circular economy framework, this study aims to address pertinent research gaps regarding material and chemical properties of clothing and suitability for closed-loop applications. Primary research questions include: (1) what are the material and chemical properties of post-consumer textile waste from a sustainable fashion take-back program; (2) which natural post-consumer textile waste is most suitable to support the growth of natural dye plants in a hydroponics system; and (3) can the use of post-consumer textile waste in a hydroponics system be scaled to support a circular fashion supply chain? This study focuses on wool, cotton, linen, silk, rayon, and Tencel ® lyocell as substrates to nurture the growth of purple basil, a natural dye plant. Vertical hydroponics is a farming method that uses nutrient water to grow plants in place of soil throughout the year. The system can be indoors, making resourceful use of limited space available and the water is recirculated. Standard hydroponic substrates, like peat moss and rockwool, have good porosity for oxygen transport and suitable moisture holding capacity for nutrient delivery. In this study, we compared the performance of the standard hydroponic substrates with various textiles. The impact on water quality, color release, moisture wicking, stability against degradation, and survival rate of the plants was used to evaluate suitability in the application. Wool, silk, and Tencel lyocell demonstrated good durability in the hydroponic system, like peat moss and rockwool, during the first growth cycle. During the second growth cycle, protein fibers—wool and silk—supported plant survival at a greater capacity than Tencel lyocell. Future research can confirm that wool and silk can support the growth of natural dye plants with a larger sample size. This research aligns with several circular economy objectives and provides a model for future research to support circular fashion supply chains.

Many emerging dyeing technologies have recently entered laboratory research or industrial production phases. However, only a few studies have evaluated and compared the environmental impact of different dyeing systems. This study calculated the carbon footprint of low-pressure anhydrous dyeing for polyester and compared with conventional water bath dyeing. The results showed that the carbon footprint of the anhydrous dyeing process was 1670 kgCO 2 eq/1000 kg polyester. Steam occupied the most significant proportion, accounting for 55.5%, followed by electricity at 35.5%. The waste has the lowest environmental impact, with 0.55%. Uncertainty analyses showed that the data and results in this article were reliable. The results of the sensitivity analyses indicated that more attention should be paid to the data quality of steam and electricity. Compared with the traditional water bath dyeing process, the low-pressure anhydrous dyeing system can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 30% and, more importantly, can avoid almost all the consumption of clean water. This anhydrous dyeing system can save water and reduce carbon emissions, which is of positive significance to the sustainable development of the textile and fashion industry. Further studies could use the water footprint as an indicator to evaluate this dyeing system in terms of water consumption and potential environmental impact.

Worldwide concern regarding the need for more sustainable textile supply chain prompted emphasis on innovation in the coloration process, often considered the most problematic segment of the supply chain. Digital textile printing, an emerging coloration technology, has the potential to improve sustainability significantly. This study undertakes an environmental sustainability analysis that compares the impacts of rotary-screen printing, the traditional, more established printing method, and digital textile printing. Researchers partnered with Creditex S.A.A., a vertically integrated textile company from Peru, to perform the research in a realistic factory setting. Creditex printed a 16-color design for an order of 1000m cotton fabric with reactive dye occupying both rotary-screen printing and digital textile printing and collected environmental impact data throughout the production process, including consumption, usage, and wastage. The findings suggest that digital textile printing is favorable to rotary-screen printing in terms of environmental sustainability impacts within the research context.

Antimicrobial textiles with improved functionality have a wide range of applications, including health and hygiene products, particularly garments worn next to the skin, and a number of medical applications, including infection control and barrier materials. Furthermore, these textiles are used in household materials, air filters, food packaging, athletic wear, storage, ventilation, and water purification systems. Cotton-based materials are hygienic and are commonly used in non-implantable hygiene medical textile products such as lint, gauze, bandages, wound dressing, and sanitary napkins. In terms of absorbency, comfort, and durability, non-implantable cotton fabric materials outperform standard clothing materials. Several studies show that depending on the type of components present in the plant extract, several plant extracts can be effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. As a result, research into eco-friendly antimicrobial agents and their application on various textile products is gaining worldwide attention. Plants such as neem, eucalyptus, aloe vera, and clove contain natural antimicrobial compounds. Extracts of neem, eucalyptus, aloe vera, and clove are used in textile finishing. These bioactive substances could be used to impart antimicrobial properties to textiles for the development of health care and hygiene products. This review focuses on research into various natural antimicrobial agents derived from plant extracts and their applications as textile finishing agents for healthcare and hygiene applications.

The fabric defect detection algorithm based on object detection has become a research hotspot. The method based on the Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) model has a fast detection speed, but the detection accuracy is insufficient. To balance the detection speed and accuracy of the model and meet the actual needs of the industry, an improved fabric defect detection algorithm based on SSD is proposed in this study. The Fully Convolutional Squeeze-and-Excitation (FCSE) block is added into the traditional SSD to improve the detection accuracy of the model. The number of default boxes was adjusted to accommodate the detection of long strip defects on fabric surface. Experimental results on the TILDA and Xuelang dataset confirm that our detection method based on SSD efficiently detected various fabric defects.

With environmental and health issues being raised, researchers have shifted their study from fluorinated to fluorine-free waterproof agents. However, most of the reported fluorine-free water repellents exhibit a significant drawback in their poor stability and durability of water repellency. In addition, the use of higher concentrations in these repellents results in the fabric becoming stiff, which negatively impacts the hand of the treated fabrics. To address these issues, dendrimer-like waterborne polyurethane prepolymers were initially synthesized using isophorone diisocyanate, polytetrahydrofuran, N-methyldiethanolamine, and trimethylolpropane as the primary materials. In this synthesis, sorbitan tristearate served as the dendrimer-like blocking agent, while single-ended bis-hydroxypropyl silicone oil was employed as functional monomers to enhance the hand and water repellency of the prepolymers. Then, dendrimer-like waterborne polyurethane was finished on the cotton fabric using a pad–dry–cure procedure. The test results showed that the water contact angle of dendrimer-like waterborne polyurethane film increased from 104.28° to 107.00° with the content of single-ended bis-hydroxypropyl silicone oil increasing, and the water contact angle of dendrimer-like waterborne polyurethane-finished fabrics reached 148.6° alone with a standard spray test rating of 90–95. In addition, the water contact angle of dendrimer-like waterborne polyurethane-finished fabrics was still greater than 140° even after five standard washes. The single-ended bis-hydroxypropyl silicone oil addition facilitated similar hand to the original fabric in dendrimer-like waterborne polyurethane-finished fabrics with high concentrations, surpassing market water repellents. This work is of great significance for improving the stability and durability of water repellency, and the hand of waterborne polyurethane fluorine-free water repellents in the textile industry.

In this paper, modified SiO 2 nanoparticles were selected to improve the surface roughness and decrease the surface energy to improve the hydrophobic performance of cotton fabric. Tetraethoxysilane and octadecyltriethoxysilane were used as raw materials to synthesize octadecyltriethoxysilane-modified SiO 2 nanoparticles (siloxane-SiO 2 ), and combined with cotton fabric. The chemical composition and surface morphology of the fabric were measured. The contact angles of the modified cotton fabrics prepared under different reaction conditions were approaching or above 150°. In addition, dynamic evolutions of water droplets on the modified cotton fabric surface were discussed. The adhesive force and the energy conversion of droplet during the collision were investigated. The water droplet bounced due to the superhydrophobic properties of the cotton fabric surface producing enough residual energy. Finally, through the acid–base chemical resistance treatments, the rubbing and washing durability, and anti-fouling experiment, the modified fabric indicated excellent hydrophobic durability and self-cleaning performance.

From 2012 to 2019, there were approximately 3455 large-scale National Football League injuries reported. There is widespread commercial acceptance of compression garments as tools for reducing injury, promoting recovery, and improving performance in athletic activity. While studies have been conducted to assess the exercise physiology benefits of compression garments, there remains a gap in the scientific literature regarding the clothing comfort and resultant thermoregulation effects of compression girdles for performance athletes. This study aimed to assess the effects of tighter fitting, multi-layer compression systems when worn by American football athletes. A negative impact on thermoregulation may negate or outweigh any realized local benefit such as increased skin blood flow or reduced muscle oscillatory properties. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to determine the predicted hypothalamus temperature, skin blood flow, skin temperature, sweat rate, temperature sensation, and comfort perceptions of the male human body when wearing a compression girdle. A sweating thermal manikin was utilized to predict the physiological responses of a 50th percentile male when wearing football girdles in both practice and play settings. The results indicate significant differences in skin blood flow, skin temperature, core temperature, sweat rate, and comfort and sensation perceptions when wearing compression girdles compared to boxer briefs in replicated practice and play settings. Findings also demonstrate the use of real-time manikin simulation modeling for predicting physiological response outcomes of wearing compression garments to a realized extent.

Occupational workers in hot environments face heat strain during temperature up-steps and cardiovascular strain during temperature down-steps. However, existing thermal risk evaluation models primarily focus on heat strain, neglecting potential risk after large temperature down-steps. This study employs a comprehensive multi-indicator approach to assess both heat strain and cardiovascular strain. Method: Six physiological and psychological parameters were selected for evaluation indexes, and four levels of thermal risk were established. Then trigonometric membership functions were proposed to determine the membership degrees related to the evaluation grades. Combined with the entropy weight method, a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model was developed to assess thermal health risk levels. Results: Results indicated that core temperature, heart rate, and mean skin temperature are important physiological factors for assessing heat strain, while thermal sensation and perceived exertion also contribute significantly. The variation in blood pressure is relevant to cardiovascular strain. The developed model can distinguish the effects of temperature step magnitude and clothing thermal resistance on heat strain. A temperature difference of 40°C (from 40°C to 0°C) leads to a moderate level of cardiovascular strain and a 24% probability of high cardiovascular strain risk. Conclusions: These findings underscore the significance of transitional spaces and appropriate clothing choices in mitigating thermal risks and promoting human health and comfort in environments with substantial temperature variations.

Textile production involves using various chemicals that may remain in clothing and pose health risks. Alkylphenol ethoxylates are non-ionic surfactants which may be involved in various textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries due to their excellent emulsification, wetting and decontamination abilities. This study aimed to determine the dermal exposure doses and health risks of alkylphenol ethoxylates in 10 unwashed textile samples for infants, toddlers and pregnant women. The concentrations of alkylphenol ethoxylates and alkylphenols (APs) were determined by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The total concentrations of alkylphenol ethoxylates (nonylphenol ethoxylates and octylphenol ethoxylates) in 10 textile samples were 113.21–1431.18 mg/kg, among which nonylphenol ethoxylates with ethoxy groups of 2–10 were the dominant chemicals. The highest dermal exposure dose was found in the toddler group, which was 1.27 and 4.14 times higher than those in the infant and pregnant women groups. When the maximum concentration was used for risk assessment based on tolerable daily intake, the hazard indices ( HI) for toddlers and infants were estimated to be 10.62 and 8.37, which may pose a higher risk to human health. Our assessment was specifically focused on new garments before washing. The garments containing alkylphenol ethoxylates can be washed to significantly reduce the exposure risk. The results of our study offer important information on human exposure to alkylphenol ethoxylates in textiles and clothing and provide a scientific basis for planning risk management measures for alkylphenol ethoxylates.
