Influence of Fibre Properties on the Absorption Behavior of Aqueous Solutions in Web Structures

ILIYA E. B^*, Abdulraheem Giwa, Sunmonu O K

Ten cotton varieties indigenous to the region were evaluated for their physical characteristics under standardized conditions using established protocols. Parallel-laid, cross-laid, and random-laid fibre webs with defined weight and dimensions (specific mass) were prepared from raw (unscoured), scoured, and scoured-mercerized samples of each variet...

Treatment of Textile Liquid Effluents Using Activated Carbon from Palm Kernel Shells

ILIYA E. B^*

Effluents from the primary discharge points of two textile industries were subjected to analysis and subsequent purification utilizing particulate substrates derived from palm kernel shells. The shells underwent cleaning, milling, and sieving to produce four distinct particle size fractions. Five-gram aliquots of raw, carbonized, and chemically ...

Synergizing the Electrical Conductivity of Functionalized Woven Polyester (PET) with In-Situ Polymerization of Aniline

ILIYA E. B^*

Polyester fabric (100%) was electrically functionalized by dyeing in pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes in Miranol at different shades (0.1 - 6.0) % (owf). Aniline was then polymerized within each of the fabric samples using Sulphuric acid and Potassium peroxydisulphate at oxidant: monomer ratio 1.25 and LR 40:1. After polymerization, the co...

Electrical conductivity of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) fabric functionalized with multi-walled carbon nanotubes

ILIYA E. B^*, R. Kotek, R.E. Gorga

Low aspect ratio pristine Multi-walled carbon nanotubes prepared by carbon vapour deposition (CVD) were dispersed in Miranol, Cetyl pyridinium chloride and a 50:50 ratio mixture of them. They were each applied on 100% PET fabric using classical polyester dyeing techniques (exhaust dyeing) as well as cold padding by 3, 5-minute dip-dry techniques...
