IRJET- Influence of Antimicrobial & Super Hydrophobic on Flooring TilesIRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on developing floor tiles that are both super hydrophobic and antimicrobial. It begins with an abstract describing how bacteria and fungi can last a long time on surfaces in buildings, leading to unhealthy environments. Super hydrophobic and antimicrobial tiles are proposed as a solution. The document then reviews literature on super hydrophobic surfaces with water contact angles over 150 degrees, and antimicrobial substances that are toxic to microbes like bacteria and fungi. Methods for creating tiles with both super hydrophobic and antimicrobial properties are described, including using materials like titanium dioxide, teflon, and silica nanocoatings. Experimental results show the new tiles have improved abrasion resistance and flexural strength compared to traditional tiles, while also providing self-clean

8. Electrospinning is used for the production of nanofibers, starting from a
polymer solution. Method: high voltage is applied to a polymer solution
(some electroconductive performance). One electrode of the voltage
source is placed into the solution and the other is connected to the
collector of nanofibers (usually a NW). When charges within the solution
reached a critical amount, a fluid jet will erupt from the droplet at the tip of
the needle resulting in the formation of a Taylor cone. The electrospinning
jet will travel towards the region of lower potential, which in most cases, is
a grounded collector. A web of solid randomly oriented nanofibers is
deposited on the surface of the grounded collector. 4 pilot plants available.

The growth of non-wovens and of composites and their relation with
technical textiles.
In the past decade, the Technical Textiles sector has grown by 22%.
The technical textile sector is undergoing significant industrial change with
the growing importance of new applications (medical, sport and leisure,
aeronautics, environment), and a radical move from traditional
technologies (knitting, weaving, etc.) to more recent ones (like composites
or nonwoven-based technologies).
Growth in Europe is mainly driven by two technologies:
•Nonwoven with a growth rate of 60% over the past decade.
•Composites with a growth rate of 75% over the past decade.
And don’t forget the combination with high-tech finishing processes!

Raw materials consumption. By applying the right forming and bonding
techniques, water consumption is drastically reduced. Also, modern
wetlaid or spunlaced production lines are recycling almost all of the
water consumed in a closed loop. Furthermore, thanks to ongoing
machine improvements, weights are possible down to 10 grams per square
meter, which means reduced fiber consumption.
Biodegradable fibers. Traditional disposables, like hygiene and medical
products, are in real trouble because of tighter environmental laws.
There soon will be no more landfills to handle used disposables. The
industry is challenged: PLA, cellulose-based (Tencel / Lyocell) fibers
and flushability performance (disintegration of towels or wet wipes when
are flushed down the toilet) required.

CASE 2: NATURAL-BASED NW FOR SANITIZING GARMENTS
DURING THE WASHING PROCESS
Objective. Fabrics washed using a nonwoven impregnated with neem
extract.
A cellulosic nonwoven (NW) was impregnated -padding system- with
neem oil, and introduced on the washing machine with cotton fabrics. The
main goal was to transfer antimicrobial properties from the NW to the
fabrics.
Garments that are washed with detergents are clean and hygienized (of
course!!!) but they don’t show durable antibacterial properties (they are
not functional).

37. 5. CONCLUSIONS
37
New systems to develop nonwovens and special machinery with eco-
sustainable performance are available in the market.
New functionalities for develop non-woven based applications can be
obtained combining the NW substrate and a finishing technology.
End applications are in a wide range: from easy-to obtain and common
products (diapers, cleaning wipes, agriculture…) to high-technical end
uses (automotive, FR substrates, filtration systems, biomedicine-based
end applications, tissue engineering and cell culture…).
A wide range of end-products and markets can be reached with a right
combination of fiber + NW technology + functional finishing.
