Jute-cotton blended denim is a new diversified product for the fashion and clothing sector. Chitosan was incorporated in this blend in order to improve its antimicrobial property. The incorporation of chitosan to the blended apparel was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Two microorganisms were used to create individual bacterial medium; one is the gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and the other is the gram-negative Escherichia coli. Qualitative and quantitative assessments were carried out to evaluate antimicrobial property of chitosan, where the results appeared in favour of chitosan’s significant efficacy as an antimicrobial agent against both before-mentioned microorganisms. Because of low cost, easy application techniques and eco-friendly strategy; the success of this research will boost confidence of clothing product developers and manufacturers to use this blend as a fashionable fabric-material irrespective of climatic areas, gender or ages, that will vastly help to flourish massive scale business of major jute producing countries like Bangladesh and India.

The production of high-performance carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) involves the draping of the carbon fiber fabrics to a 3D shape, a process which changes the orientation of the load-bearing fibers in the fabric and therefore has a high impact on the strength of the final composite part. This paper investigates the change in yarn orientation during the 3D-draping process of biaxial carbon-fiber non-crimp fabrics to a hemispherical shape. The draping process is partitioned in several steps, after each of which the yarn orientation in the fabric is measured by a robot-guided eddy current scanning system. The results show that the greatest change in yarn orientation occurs in the final stages of the draping. Furthermore, the yarn orientation change is not linear – in some regions, later draping steps reverse the yarn orientation change from earlier steps. These results are of high importance for a better controlling of the textile draping process.

Textile‐integrated sensors are investigated as functional elements in engineering textiles, enabling monitoring in deformable systems, including biomedical applications. While most current research focuses on material choice, mounting evidence shows that the textile architecture also plays a decisive role in affecting sensor stability and reliability. This study compares two textile architectures designed for sensor integration: a weft‐knitted pocket structure and a weft‐knitted tunnel‐routing structure. These architectures employ different sensor integration approaches, such as embroidered capacitive sensors and braided sensor yarns, which reflect their respective structural integration strategies. The integrated textile samples were subjected to tensile, bending, and compressive loads, as well as thermal sterilization and exposure to chemical environments relevant to wound care applications. Under these conditions, the two textile architectures exhibited stable resistance behavior under mechanical stress, whereas their capacitive responses differed according to the integration strategy. The pocket structure demonstrated lower signal drift and higher repeatability, whereas the tunnel design offered higher sensitivity at the cost of increased variability. Notably, both architectures retained sensing functionality after sterilization and chemical exposure. These results emphasize that textile architecture is a key factor in determining sensor reliability, with the pocket‐type design providing a robust platform for capacitive sensing in functional engineering textiles.

Wearable electrochemical sensors offer promising opportunities for wound‐related biochemical assessment by enabling the detection of wound‐relevant biomarkers directly at the skin–wound interface. In this study, we present a textile‐integrated sensor platform for dual‐analyte response of hydrogen peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ) and enzymatically quantified lactate, which are key indicators of oxidative stress and metabolic activity, respectively. The redox sensor was fabricated using platinum‐coated Shieldex working electrodes and Ag/AgCl reference electrodes, arranged in a coaxial winding yarn. Besides having the same type of reference electrode in the setup, the lactate sensor employed a gold‐based working electrode functionalized with a chitosan–PPD–lactate oxidase (LOx) multilayer along with a platinum‐based counter electrode. Electrochemical characterisation showed that the redox sensor exhibited consistent current–time response behaviour, approaching a quasi‐stabilised response level within approximately 180 s, and demonstrating a measurable response trend across a broad experimentally explored H ₂ O ₂ concentration range (from the micromolar to high millimolar range). The lactate sensor produced repeatable qualitative current increases of approximately 25% and 50% at 2 mM and 4 mM lactate, respectively, with response magnitude affected by pH and temperature. Biocompatibility testing confirmed no cytotoxic effects for gold‐ and platinum‐based electrodes, and only moderate effects for Ag/AgCl under prolonged incubation, supporting the suitability of the primary sensing elements for wound‐contact applications. Taken together, the results demonstrate proof‐of‐concept functionality under controlled laboratory conditions, while comprehensive analytical validation remains the subject of future work, which supports the potential of textile‐based electrochemical sensors for integration into next‐generation smart wound dressings. Future research will also focus on environmental compensation, enzyme stabilisation and further system optimisation for wound‐relevant operation.
