Our future will be based on functional and AI based smart products, where every industry wants to develop these kinds of products. Textile industry also cannot remain untouched with this technological innovation. Dyes have been utilising for coloration of textiles since ancient time. But at present with various advancement in technology as well as requirements of consumers, the need for functional and smart dyes arises. Various current researches are based on application of smart and functional dyes on textile to develop smart and functional textiles. The dyes which add the functional and smart properties to the textiles can be called as functional and smart dyes. Functional and smart dyes are available in both synthetic and natural form. But with the environment concern, the researchers are going on to find out natural source of these dyes. Functional dyes such as UV protective dye, antimicrobial dye, moth repellent dye offer specific function after application on textiles. Smart dyes like photochromic, thermochromic, electrochromic and solvatochromic etc. are playing very imp role to develop a smart textile which can offer reversible colour change which leads to impart various properties such as thermoregulation, camophlage properties into the textiles. Functional dyes generally limited to the textiles sector but smart dyes are not just restricted to it. Application of smart dyes is extended to various fields such as automobiles, robotics, aircrafts, medicine and surgery etc. This chapter will mainly deal with the types, application methods and application area of functional and smart dyes especially in connection with textiles.

Live Bacteria

A smart textile for live bacteria detection of antimicrobial hospital tissues is here proposed. The capacity to detect viable bacteria is based on the use of Prussian Blue (PB) as electrochromic compound, with a clear reversible change of colour from PB to Prussian White (PW) after reduction from a bacterial metabolism process. PB nanoparticles are incorporated to polyester cotton fabrics by ultrasonic deposition. After performing different tests with bacterial samples of E. coli and S. aureus, a full colour change of the textiles was observed. These smart textiles will allow to determine the self-life of the antibacterial compounds as well to improve the control of hospital infections.

A series of copolyesters, poly(butylene adipate-co-butylene itaconate) (PBABI), was synthesized using melt polycondensation from adipic acid (AA), itaconic acid (IA), 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). 1H-NMR, FT-IR, GPC, DSC, TGA, DMA, XRD, Shore D, and tensile test were used to systematically characterize the structural and composition/physical properties of the copolyesters. It was found that the melting point (Tm) and crystallization temperature (Tc) of the copolyesters were, respectively, between 21.1 to 57.5 °C and −6.7 to 29.5 °C. The glass transition (Tg) and the initial thermal decomposition (Td-5%) temperatures of the PBABI copolyesters were observed to be between −53.6 to −55.8 °C and 313.6 and 342.1 °C at varying ratios of butylene adipate (BA) and butylene itaconate (IA), respectively. The XRD feature peak was identified at the 2θ values of 21.61°, 22.31°, and 23.96° for the crystal lattice of (110), (020), and (021), respectively. Interestingly, Shore D at various IA ratios had high values (between 51.3 to 62), which indicated that the PBABI had soft plastic properties. The Young’s modulus and elongation at break, at different IA concentrations, were measured to be at 0.77–128.65 MPa and 71.04–531.76%, respectively, which could be attributed to a close and compact three-dimensional network structure formed by EDTA as a crosslinking agent. There was a significant bell-shaped trend in a BA/BI ratio of 8/2, at different EDTA concentrations—the ∆Hm increased while the EDTA concentration increased from 0.001 to 0.05 mole% and then decreased at an EDTA ratio of 0.2 mole%. Since the PBABI copolymers have applications in the textile industry, these polymers have been adopted to reinforce 3D air-permeable polyester-based smart textile. This kind of composite not only possesses the advantage of lower weight and breathable properties for textiles, but also offers customizable, strong levels of hardness, after UV curing of the PBABI copolyesters, making its potential in vitro orthopedic support as the “plaster of the future”.

Nowadays, technological innovation is a very important agent not only in the business sector, but also in the research sector, especially when it is related to factors such as competitiveness, since it is perceived as a determinant for the future of the industry and business development. This research presents the development of the work “Generalities of the textile industry and its relevance in the business competitiveness of medium-sized companies in the state of Hidalgo” in which the competitiveness of some Hidalgo organizations in the industrial sector is analysed based on innovation in technology. The work consists of a theoretical review and the application of instruments to medium-sized companies in the industrial sector, considering the database of the Mexican Business Information System (SIEM). Based on the above, an instrument was created that allows knowing if the competitiveness in the industries depends on the technology implemented in these organizations. The work was carried out in two stages: in principle, a brief theoretical framework is developed in which the importance of innovation in technology for the competitiveness of companies in the textile industry is explained and, subsequently, the way is opened to the Field research, where this relationship is analysed for the particular case of medium-sized Hidalgo companies. It should be noted that these are the partial results derived from the creation of the measurement instrument and the application of a pilot test to these companies.
