Study on Graphene/CNC-Coated Bamboo Pulp Fabric Preparation of Fabrics with Thermal Conductivity

Functional fabrics have gained attention as an environmentally-friendly synthesis route. In the current study, novelty bamboo pulp fabrics with thermal conductivity properties were prepared by coating the fabric with graphene and cellulose nanocrystal (G/CNC) solutions. The influences of G and CNC concentrations on properties of fabrics were studied. The viscosities of the G/CNC solutions increased with an increase of G contents. G had an obvious thickening effect. Furthermore, compounded fabrics with different G and CNC contents (GCBPFs) were prepared and extensively characterized in terms of thermal and mechanical properties, and morphology. The ultimate thermal conductivity, bursting strength, and tensile strength of the GCBPF were 0.136 W/m·K, 1.514 MPa, and 25.8 MPa, with 4 wt.% CNC and 3 wt.% G contents, respectively. The results demonstrated that the as-fabricated GCBPFs with favorable thermal conductivity could be applied as a novel fast cooling textile for the clothing industry.

The Anti-Microbial Property of ZnO Nanoparticles Deposited Bamboo Pulp Fabric

The article presents a simple way of synthesis ZnO nanoparticles on bamboo pulp fabric. In this synthesis, multi-amine compound (HSDA) was applied as a stabilizer and a reductant. The syntheses, performed at various initial Zn (NO3)2in 2 g/l HSDA aqueous solution. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that ZnO nanoparticles had been formed on bamboo pulp fabric. The antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles deposited fabrics was tested. The results indicated that the ZnO-treated fabric showed good bacterial reduction of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Test and Analysis on the Wearability of Bamboo Pulp Fabric

In order to have a better understanding the wearability of bamboo pulp fabric and enhance the research and development level of this kind of products, the fabric performances such as the strength, elongation, air permeability, moisture permeability have been test and discussed in this paper. The results shown that: the breaking strength of fabric increases when the bamboo pulp fiber content reduces; when the bamboo pulp fiber content increased, the breaking elongation, wear resistance performance, wicking performance, crease recovery performance, moisture permeability, air permeation rate and tearing strength of fabric also increased.

Anti-Ultraviolet and Anti-Bacterial Finish of Bamboo Pulp Fabric Treated by HBP-NH2

Bamboo pulp fibers, made of fast grown bamboo, were the recycled and environment-friendly natural raw materials in the textile industry which particularly today was paid more attention to its good performance due to energy and environment crisis. Hyper branched polymer was attracted more study because of the vast potential application in the future. In this study, the fabrics were modified with the amino-terminated hyper branched polymer (HBP-NH2) by dipping method and anti-UV and anti-bacterial properties of the treated bamboo pulp fabric were investigated. The results showed that the treated bamboo fabric had good antibacterial properties, the bacteria reduction of S.aureus and E.coli were as high as 89% or more, and also remained at around 88% after 20 times washing. The UPF values were increased from 8.16 to 18.18 which improved the anti-UV property of bamboo fabric.
