HOWARD 2 & BENJAMIN K. ASINYO 3 1 Key Laboratory of Eco-Textiles, Jiangnan University, Ministry of Education, Wuxi, Jiangsu, China 1, 2, 3 Department of Industrial Art (Textiles), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, PMB - Kumasi, Ghana ABSTRACT Inkjet inks are the most important component in inkjet printing. The formulation and chemistry of inks determine the printing quality as well as jetting characteristics. Digital printing technology has transformed textiles printing with significant success in terms of print speed, print head technology and color gamut. Nonetheless, ink penetration and its related quality problems are still receiving a high level of attention by researchers around the globe to develop superior inks that can surpass the quality of prints obtained by the conventional methods of printing. This review seeks to take a perfunctory look at the various ink chemistries being developed to address the color related problems in digital textiles inkjet printing and the various pretreatment technologies available for ensuring excellent K/S and color fastness as well as jetting behavior of Newtonian inkjet inks in DOD drop formation. In addition, various issues relating to quality of digital inkjet printer fabrics and ink development have been highlighted. Significant strides have been made in the quest for environmentally friendly universal inks that can print all textiles substrate. KEYWORDS: Inkjet Ink, Dye, Pigment, Digital Printing, Textile INTRODUCTION Inkjet printing has become the new frontier in textile printing, offering advantages in process efficiency, ease of use, cost effectiveness and environmental impact (Pekarovicova 2016a, Magdassi 2010).

  • A Study of the Extraordinarily Strong and Tough Silk Produced by Bagworms

    A Study of the Extraordinarily Strong and Tough Silk Produced by Bagworms

    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-09350-3 OPEN A study of the extraordinarily strong and tough silk produced by bagworms Taiyo Yoshioka 1, Takuya Tsubota 2, Kohji Tashiro3, Akiya Jouraku4 & Tsunenori Kameda1 Global ecological damage has heightened the demand for silk as ‘a structural material made from sustainable resources’. Scientists have earnestly searched for stronger and tougher silks. Bagworm silk might be a promising candidate considering its superior capacity to dangle a 1234567890():,; heavy weight, summed up by the weights of the larva and its house. However, detailed mechanical and structural studies on bagworm silks have been lacking. Herein, we show the superior potential of the silk produced by Japan’s largest bagworm, Eumeta variegata. This bagworm silk is extraordinarily strong and tough, and its tensile deformation behaviour is quite elastic. The outstanding mechanical property is the result of a highly ordered hier- archical structure, which remains unchanged until fracture. Our findings demonstrate how the hierarchical structure of silk proteins plays an important role in the mechanical property of silk fibres. 1 Silk Materials Research Unit, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO), 1-2 Owashi, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8634, Japan. 2 Transgenic Silkworm Research Unit, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO), 1-2 Owashi, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8634, Japan. 3 Department of Future Industry-Oriented Basic Science and Materials, Graduate School of Engineering, Toyota Technological Institute, Tempaku, Nagoya 468-8511, Japan. 4 Insect Genome Research and Engineering Unit, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO), 1-2 Owashi, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8634, Japan.
