This paper reports the auxetic behavior of modified conventional non-woven fabric. The auxetic behavior of fabric was achieved by forming rotating square unit geometry with a highly ordered pattern of slits by laser cutting. Two commercial needle-punched non-woven fabric used as lining and the reinforcement fabric for the footwear industry were investigated. The influence of two rotating square unit sizes was analyzed for each fabric. The original and modified fabric samples were subjected to quasi-static tensile load by using the Tinius Olsen testing machine to observe the in-plane mechanical properties and deformation behavior of tested samples. The tests were recorded with a full high-definition (HD) digital camera and the video recognition technique was applied to determine the Poisson's ratio evolution during testing. The results show that the modified samples exhibit a much lower breaking force due to induced slits, which in turn limits the application of such modified fabric to low tensile loads. The samples with smaller rotating cell sizes exhibit the highest negative Poisson's ratio during tensile loading through the entire longitudinal strain range until rupture. Non-woven fabric with equal distribution and orientation of fibers in both directions offer better auxetic response with a smaller out-of-plane rotation of rotating unit cells. The out-of-plane rotation of unit cells in non-homogenous samples is higher in machine direction.

Bacterial infections in wounds, especially in patients with chronic conditions like diabetic wounds, pose significant treatment challenges. Addressing the susceptibility to infection is crucial, and the development of functional dressings to prevent bacterial invasion has proven a promising strategy. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), derived from bio-resources and functioning as nanoparticles (NPs), were modified with poly[2-(tert-butylamino) ethyl methacrylate] (PTA) through atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) to create CNCs-graft-PTA NPs (CNPs).

The heat and corrosion resistance of traditional membranes is inadequate, thus making them inadequate for the separation/filtration needs of harsh environments. Polyphenylene sulfide(PPS) can be used to develop new-generation membrane materials, but PPS has problems such as hydrophobicity and UV resistance. This article proposes a PPS membrane for efficient separation/filtration under extreme conditions, which uses melt-blown PPS non-woven fabric and undergoes oxidation and nitrification modification.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores a new method for creating antiseptic wipes by using microencapsulation to combine antimicrobial properties of A.I. oil and T.C. extracts.
- Microcapsules were made with a 1:1 ratio of A.I. and T.C., using sodium alginate, and were evenly distributed in non-woven cotton fabric.
- The treated fabric significantly reduced bacteria, showing effectiveness against both Gram-positive (up to 99%) and Gram-negative (up to 99%) strains, while only slightly decreasing in whiteness, indicating potential for infection control applications.
