The pre-finishing, finishing, and dyeing processes applied to the fabrics are carried out at high temperatures, in acidic or alkaline environments. Conventional metalized yarns which are produced by metalized yarn companies cannot resist these conditions that change due to raw material type. Metalized parts exfoliate when exposed to these conditions, and shiny appearance disappears completely. Therefore, in order to be a solution for this problem for the products that the use of metalized yarn is required, companies produce fabrics by using metalized yarns that were colored in bobbin form and choose proper application conditions for metalized yarns. However, because this solution increases production time and workmanship, the production costs and the product’s sale price increase correspondingly. The use of metalized yarns with untreated fiber is more advantageous than the method mentioned above for companies in terms of both cost and ease of production process. For this purpose, in this study, the resistance of metalized yarns that were produced by using lamination technique was tested against the chemicals which metalized yarns can be exposed during textile finishing processes, and the appearances of the fabrics were evaluated. Because metalized yarns are commonly used in the production of cotton and polyester fabrics, finishing processes that are applied to cotton and polyester fabrics were applied to metalized fabrics in a textile finishing laboratory. Then post-processing appearances of fabrics were evaluated subjectively.

Abstract Owing to global environmental concerns, sustainable industrial processes have become a topic of significant importance in various fields. Chestnut shells are byproducts of agricultural and food industries; however, they include various health-beneficial compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids. In this study, the feasibility of using chestnut shell extract as a natural functional agent for textile finishing processes was investigated. The chestnut shell extract was prepared by boiling the inner and outer shells of chestnut in distilled water for 4 h. Subsequently, the extract was filtered, centrifuged, concentrated, and finally dried into powder form using a freeze dryer. The extract was then dissolved in distilled water at different concentrations and applied to cotton fabrics through a pad-dry-cure process. The finished cotton fabrics were investigated by scanning electron microscope, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, etc. In addition, the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of the finished cotton fabrics were examined as functional properties. The results showed that the cotton fabrics finished by chestnut shell extract exhibited significant antibacterial, antioxidant, and deodorant properties when the concentration of the chestnut shell extract was above 10 wt% in the finishing bath.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic situation during the years 2020 and 2021, the necessity occurred to convert conventional university lectures into digital ones, to avoid personal contacts between people and by this minimizing the spreading of the disease. Beside lectures, also exams have to be transferred to minimize personal contacts. This paper reports on a lecture in a bachelor course with more than 100 students and its conversion to digital format. The lecture is related to textile finishing processes – especially to dyeing and printing. The experience get during the digital lecture are compared with the results gained during the last decade with the same lecture in conventional style. Main tools of the digital format are video conferences and digital worksheets. Challenging are the contact to students by e-mail and the time management of the students especially during the final digital homework. In conclusion, digital lecture and exam are valuable tools to increase the number of participating students and their success in the exam. These tools could be also used successfully in post-corona times especially for lectures given for experienced students in higher semester.
