This research developed shoe soles using a biodegradable and renewable composite made of King Oyster mushroom mycelium. An exploratory approach was used to develop biodegradable shoe prototypes using the mushroom mycelium composite as the midsoles. A...

Composites of textile fabrics and 3D-printed layers have been investigated thoroughly during the last decade. Usually, material extrusion such as the fused deposition modeling (FDM) technique is used to build such composites, revealing challenges in...

Multifunctional composites and smart textiles are an important advancement in material science, offering a variety of capabilities that extend well beyond traditional structural functions. These advanced materials are poised to revolutionize applicat...

Textiles are composed of different types of fibers; thus, different processes for end-of-life recovery are currently applied. After collection, a prior sorting process is essential to classify the textiles and assess their quality in order to ensure...

The Textiles journal is a peer-reviewed, open access journal, officially launched in 2021 [...]

The increasing demand for environmental and sustainable materials has motivated efforts to fabricate biocomposites as alternatives to conventional synthetic fiber composites. However, biocomposite materials have some drawbacks such as poor mechanical...

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) merge textiles and electronics to monitor physiological and environmental changes. Innovations in textile functionalities and diverse applications have propelled e-textiles’ popularity. However, challenges like...

Due to the continuous optimization of cutting plans, the cotton scrap size resulting from the cutting of components for clothing production (post-industrial residues) is often considered insufficient to obtain fibres with the proper length to produce...

With the substantial growth of the smart textiles market, electrical properties are becoming a basic requirement for most of the advanced textiles used in the development of wearable solutions and other textile-based smart applications. Depending on...
