title: Optimization of Dyeing Process of Natural Dye Extracted from <i>Polyalthia longifolia</i> Leaves on Silk and Cotton Fabrics

description: The study approached to extract natural dye from the wastage leaves of <i>Polyalthia longifolia</i> and evaluate the dyeing properties on silk and cotton fabrics. Different analysis techniques were used to understand the characteristics of the dye and apply them to silk and cotton fabrics using UV–Vis spectrophotometer, FTIR, and SEM. The colorimetric properties were analyzed by reflectance spectrometry in terms of <i>L*, a*, b*, c*, h°</i>, and <i>K/S</i> values. The color fastness was investigated in terms of light, wash, rub (dry/wet), and perspiration tests. The optimum dye extraction obtained was 18% at 90°C in 60 min of extraction in the aqueous alkaline medium. The analysis results showed that the extracted reddish-brown colored dyes confirmed the presence of tannins and phenolic compounds. The color was fixed firmly on silk fabrics without any mordant. The post-mordanting method with ferrous sulfate and copper sulfate showed a better shade and lightfastness than other mordanting processes on silk fabrics. Ferrous sulfate and copper sulfate mordanted cotton fabrics showed good light and wash fastness properties. The study observed that the extracted natural dye of <i>P. longifolia</i> has the potential to be used as a textile dye.

title: Alkaline Pretreatment Facilitate Mechanical Fibrillation of Unbleached Cellulose Pulps for Obtaining of Cellulose micro/nanofibrils (MFC)

description: Energy expenditure is a limiting factor for the production of cellulose micro/nanofibrils in mechanical processing. This study evaluated the effect of novel alkaline pretreatments on unbleached <i>Eucalyptus</i> sp. pulps (hardwood) and <i>Pinus</i> sp. cellulose (softwood) to facilitate the production of cellulose nanofibrils by mechanical fibrillation and reduce the energy consumed by the mill. Pretreatments with NaOH in concentrations of 5% for 2 h and 10% for 1 h and 2 h and a hybrid pretreatment with 5%/16% NaOH/ H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> for 2 h were evaluated. The 10% pre-treatment was done at 1 h and 2 h to evaluate the effect of the less aggressive treatment (1 h). The morphology, chemical composition, turbidity of the fibers/suspensions, mechanical properties, fibrillation quality index and energy expended during the fibrillation were evaluated for each pretreatment. The less aggressive pretreatments produced micro/nanofibrils with fewer passes of the pulp through the fibrillator, which effectively facilitated extraction with lower energy consumption. The hybrid pretreatment did not show satisfactory results in reducing energy consumption, and the quality of the nanofibrils produced by this pre-treatment was inferior to the others. This study showed innovation in performing novel and efficient NaOH and hybrid (NaOH/H<sub>2</sub>0<sub>2</sub>) pretreatments on commercial unbleached pulps to obtain pulp micro/nanofibrils.

title: Eco-friendly Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles for Multifunctional Protective Cotton and Flax Fabrics

description: The antibacterial properties of nano-silver are well-known methods to combat microbes in many respects, and the coating process emphasized this phenomenon more to textile materials. With the advancement in promoting eco-friendly methods to synthesize silver, sweet Orange Peel extract was used to reduce Ag<sup>+</sup> to Ag<sup>0</sup>. UV, XRD, SEM, EDX, and DLS were used to characterize and diagnose the formation of silver nanoparticles. The nanocrystallite size was measured using the Scherrer equation and the SEM images showed well-dispersed nanoparticles at pH levels 9 and 10. The treated cotton and flax fabrics were characterized by UV-vis, FTIR, SEM, and EDX to find the proper level of impregnation of silver nanoparticles onto the fabrics. The colorimetric results showed good distribution of coloronto both fabrics. They exhibited an increase in UV protection factor (UPF value raised from 5.47% to 12.95% for cotton and 3.36% to 4.11% for flax). The antibacterial efficacy was tested against <i>Escherichia coli</i> and the treated fabrics showed satisfactory resistance even after 10 consecutive washing cycles. The zone of inhibition was reported 15 mm and 14 mm (after 10 cycles) for cotton fabric and 14 mm and 10 mm (after 10 cycles) for flax fabric, respectively.

title: Characterization of Fibers from Culms and Leaves of <i>Arundo donax</i> L. (Poaceae) for Handmade Paper Production

description: The production of handmade paper is a sustainable process that has a relevant social and economic function, especially in developing countries. In the search for alternative, renewable and low-cost sources for cellulose and handmade paper production, we evaluated the morphological characteristics and chemical composition of fibers of leaves and culms from <i>Arundo donax</i>, a fast-growing invasive grass that was introduced in several countries, including Brazil. The fibers of <i>A. donax</i> are long (leaf = 1.73 mm; culm = 1.26 mm), with thick cell walls (leaf = 4.97 µm; culm = 5.36 µm), which provide folding endurance and result in a rougher and more voluminous paper. Additionally, the high values of cell wall fraction (leaf = 78%; culm = 82%) indicate great fiber stiffness. The relatively high values of cellulose (leaf = 38.9%; culm = 39.4%) and low values of lignin (leaf = 12.1%; culm = 13.0%) in the fibers make its use in paper production advantageous, as it reduces costs with chemical products in pulping. Fibers from <i>A. donax</i> are a viable alternative material to produce cellulose and handmade paper or can be mixed with other raw materials to produce different types of paper.

title: Properties of Oat and Barley Hulls and Suitability for Food Packaging Materials

description: The fiber length, chemical composition, and mycototoxins of oat and barley hulls were analyzed in order to study the suitability to utilize hulls for paper and paperboard manufacturing. Oat fibers were observed to be slightly longer than those of barley (0.80 ± 0.19 mm and 0.51 ± 0.17 mm, respectively). There were no differences in the composition of the hemicellulose sugars, with the predominance of xylose and glucose. The amount of Klason lignin in oat and barley hulls was at almost the same level (23% and 25% of dry weight, respectively). Guaiacyl (G) units derived from coniferyl alcohol dominated as shown by pyrolysis-GC-MS. To achieve fibrillation beneficial for the papermaking, oat and barley hulls were refined with a disc refiner. Oat hulls were observed to be harder than barley hulls. This affected both calendering and the appearance of the sheets produced. Laboratory sheets were prepared in a sheet-former with different percentage of softwood pulp and oat and barley hulls. Hull-containing paper mostly met the same quality requirements as the commercial paper except for the burst strength in sheets containing either species’ hulls, and the tensile strength in sheets containing barley hulls.
