Mosquito-borne diseases constitute a major health issue and a high burden for many countries. The biocontrol of mosquitoes is vital for combatting such diseases. Bacteria exhibit huge potential biotechnological uses due to their adaptability and ubiquity. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are typically molecules with low molecular weight and high v...

This work presents a comprehensive computational study aimed at exploring the inhibitory potential of Geranium essential oil against corrosion. Utilizing Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, Monte Carlo simulations, and Petra/Osiris/Molinspiration (POM) analysis, we investigated the molecular interactions underlying the corrosion inhibitio...

Sustainable materials encompass a diverse range of substances used in both consumer and industrial domains. These materials are sourced in quantities that safeguard non-renewable resources and environmental equilibrium, with a focus on bio-based alternatives derived from plants. This study investigates the corrosion inhibition potential of two dist...

The objective of this study is to investigate and predict the effectiveness of the Blue Tansy essential oil (BTES) as a corrosion inhibitor. The chemical composition of BTES was determined using gas chromatography (GC) coupled with a flame ionization detector (FID). To evaluate the corrosion resistance of mild steel in a 1 M hydrochloric acid solut...

In this paper, we report on the design of multifunctional cotton fabric with high hydrophobic, water-repellent, water-oil separation, and self-cleaning properties by the sol-gel method using ionic liquids. To do so, sols containing 1-methylimidazolium chloride Propyltriethoxysilane [MCPTS] and 1-pyridinium chloride Propyltriethoxysilane [PCPTS] sal...

The chemical composition of Blue Tansy essential oil (BTES) was performed by gas chromatography (GC) coupled to a flame ionization detector (FID). The corrosion-resistance ability of the mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution using BTES was tested by means of weight loss measurements, Potentiodynamic polarization study and the Dynamic electrochem...

Cotton (CO) fabrics with flame retardant properties based on ionic liquids: 1-methyl-3-(-((triethoxysilyl)oxy)propyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (MCPTS) and 1-(3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl)pyridine-1-ium chloride (PCPTS) with boron from boric acid are successfully obtained via a sol-gel process. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), optical m...

In the present study, a magnetic textile was developed by the application of Iron nanoparticles on cotton fabrics. For this, Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthetized by reverse coprecipitation. Then, the obtained magnetic nanoparticles were applied on cotton fabrics using the Pad-Dry-Cure process. Magnetic behavior of iron oxide nanoparticles was inves...

This work aims to prepare a series of sols based on Titanium (IV) butoxide (TBT) and using boric acid as a functional additive. The sols were applied onto the cotton fabric by the pad-pry-cure process. The as-obtained cotton fabrics were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analys...

The development of technical textiles allows the introduction of new, interesting and original multi-functionalities in textiles through development of the architecture of fibres, yarns and fabrics , their morphology and surface functionalization without altering their physico-chemical proprieties. This issue of Textile Progress reports different t...

An ionic liquid (IL)-assisted cotton fabric treatment was developed that uses the sol–gel method, methylimidazolium and pyridinium cations combined with Cl⁻, PF6⁻, (CF3SO2)2N⁻, BF4⁻ and CH3CO2⁻ anions. Scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were first performed to characterize the morphology and...

In this study, flame retardant cotton fabrics were developed by the sol-gel method, in order to enhance their flame retardant proprieties. For this aim, seven sols were prepared using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and different ionic liquids (ILs) consist on pyridinium and Methylimidazolium cations with different anions such as: PF6−, CH3COO⁻, and...
