Nowadays modified textiles, especially UV-protective, antibacterial and antimicrobial ones, have become the focus of great interest. In this study, several new UV absorbers, bis(indolyl)methane derivatives, were synthesized and grafted onto polyvinyl alcohol polymer (PVA). Their application properties on cotton-based textile materials were determined; the UV protection factor values of the modified fabrics were measured (UPF); and the antibacterial features of the fabrics were tested.

This work presents a 2D radiochromic dosimeter for ultraviolet (UV) radiation measurements, based on cotton fabric volume-modified with nitroblue tetrazolium chloride (NBT) as a radiation-sensitive compound. The developed dosimeter is flexible, which allows it to adapt to various shapes and show a color change from yellowish to purple-brown during irradiation. The intensity of the color change depends on the type of UV radiation and is the highest for UVC (253.

Quercetin, recognized for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, faces limited biomedical application due to its low solubility. Cotton, a preferred wound dressing material over synthetic ones, lacks inherent antibacterial and wound-healing attributes and can benefit from quercetin features. This study explores the potential of overcoming these challenges through the inclusion complexation of quercetin with cyclodextrins (CDs) and the development of a nanofibrous coating on a cotton nonwoven textile.

The expansion of the textile industry and improvements in living standards have led to increased cotton textile production, resulting in a rise in textile waste, with cotton accounting for 24% of total textile waste. Effective waste management through recycling and reuse is crucial to reducing global waste production. Nanocellulose has diverse applications in environmental, geotechnical, food packaging, and biomedical engineering areas.

A unique combination of cotton fabric (CF) with a mixture of EDTA and APTES FeO magnetic particles was developed and utilized for the first time as an adsorbent for removing pollutants from wastewater. Initially, FeO was synthesized using the co-precipitation method. Further, the surface of FeO was modified by introducing amino functional groups through a reaction with APTES, resulting in FeO-NH.

Cotton-based textiles are ubiquitous in daily life and are prime candidates for application in wearable triboelectric nanogenerators. However, pristine cotton is vulnerable to bacterial attack, lacks antioxidant and ultraviolet (UV)-protective abilities, and shows lower triboelectric charge generation against tribonegative materials because it is present in the neutral region of the triboelectric series. To overcome such drawbacks, herein, a facile layer-by-layer method is proposed, involving the deposition of alternate layers of polyethylenimine (PEI) and sodium alginate (SA) on cotton.
