Dyeing on a cellulose layer is totally different to dyeing directly on the textile, because the structure of the textile is different from the structure of cellulose. Depending on the type of dye used, there is either a chemical, an electrochemical18, an ionic18, an electrostatic19 or an adsorptive20 interaction with the textile structure. It is clear that this interaction would be totally different if the dye were to be used directly on the cellulose layer. The interaction could be weaker, or even zero, or could be based on a different mechanism. 

Intelligent textiles are frequently based on smart materials that are transformed into the shape of a fibre, yam and/or textile structure (woven, non-woven or knitted). 

Fibro-vascular tissues require a pore size greater than 500 pm for rapid vascularisation, whereas the optimal porosity for bone-bonding materials is considered to be between 70 and 200 pm. Textile structures have the potential to be tailored in such a way as to provide the required porosity in terms of size, quantity and distribution pattern. For example, in a typical textile...

For this purpose, the starting situation in this section is reflected by Equation9.1 and, depending on the results obtained, will show whether this equation is still valid and, if so, under which conditions. Possible differences in results between those described in this section and those in section9.2 need to be explained by the fact that a textile structure is used as electrode material, since this is the only modification of the electrochemical cell characterised in section9.2 and used for the studies described here in section... 

Similar to the experiments carried out at palladium electrodes and described in Chapter3, the concentration of electrolyte (c), the electrode surface area (A) and the distance between the electrodes (d) will be studied as a function of type of textile structure. In this work, three structures will be studied knitted, woven and non-woven textile structures, all obtained from stainless-steel fibres. To complete the data of this work, palladium sheets will also be inserted in the study as a fourth set of electrodes. Therefore, for palladium electrodes, the work described in section 9.2 will actually be repeated here in order to have a direct comparison between results obtained with palladium electrodes and textile electrodes. Of course, correlation with the data obtained in section 9.2 will be verified.

Experimental proof for the above-described hypothesis was found by taking microscopic photographs of the textile structures in dry and wet conditions using a fluorescent solution. From these images, it could be seen that air bubbles were indeed trapped in the wet structures, but due to the more regular structure of the non-woven fabrics compared with woven and knitted fabrics, much less air was trapped. Confirmation for the dissolution of these bubbles is found by the absence of air when the textile electrodes were immersed for about 3 days in the fluorescent solution. 

Electrochemical behaviour of Ce(IV) at the gold-coated textile structure... 

The electrochemical behaviour of Ce(IV) at a gold-coated textile structure was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in a 1.0moll-1 H2S04 solution (Fig. 12.13). The potential is swept in positive direction from an initial potential of -0.2V vs. AglAgCl to a vertex potential of 1.7 V vs. AglAgCl and in the... 

In case of cotton, the use of nanocomposites in coatings has already been mentioned under Section 24.5.1.2. The only reported cotton-clay nanocomposites work is by White80 where cotton with MMT clay in a 50% solution of 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide (MMNO) was produced in the form of large plaques. However, no fiber or textile structures could be obtained.
