Abstract
Direct inkjet digital printing is a relatively green and environmentally friendly textile printing method with a wide range of applications in the textile printing and dyeing industry. However, pretreatment of the fabric is required before digital printing, which will generate certain energy consumption and wastewater. In this study, a digital direct inkjet printing method was developed to improve the printing accuracy of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabrics without any pretreatment. A kind of direct inkjet printing ink was prepared by the response change in temperature viscosity. The increase in viscosity inhibits ink bleeding on the fabric, thereby improving printing accuracy. A thermosensitive direct inkjet printing disperse dye ink was prepared by adding cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and 3-methylsalicylic acid (3MS) to the ink. By evaluating the changes in the ink particle size, shear viscosity, and temperature viscosity, it was found that this thermosensitive ink has an excellent average particle size and special changes in viscosity with increasing temperature. When this heat-sensitive ink is printed on a polyester fabric, the fabric does not need pretreatment to improve the clarity of printing, and the printed fabric has satisfactory color fastness to friction and washing.

Abstract
The microplastics (MPs) are considered one of the most threatening pollutants. One of the main concerns is their continuous and cumulative flow to water environments, as they are very difficult to be removed. Microfibers (MFs) are a significant type of MPs, with textile articles as one of the most renowned sources. This review aims to provide the current status of these MFs as pollutants, discussing possible alternatives from the manufacturing until the final disposition of MFs. There are many alternatives to reduce these pollutants from reaching the environment but also gaps that need to be further evaluated and addressed. Besides, it should be noticed that alternatives could be complementary between them. Some viable and non-contaminating solutions to reduce this pollution are currently on the market. Also, one relevant aspect is the final disposition or usage of the retained MFs to avoid them from reaching aquatic environments.

Abstract
In the present study, density functional theory (DFT) has been used in simulating and calculating the molecular geometries of differently structured polyols (within a water phase), as well as the weak interactions between these polyols and the water molecules. Furthermore, low field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) has been used in studying the transverse relaxation times of different polyols, in addition to their (20.00 wt %) fluidity in an aqueous environment. Moreover, the influence of polyols, with different molecular structures, on the ink fluidity, was also explored. A bubble pressure tensiometer was also used to characterize the surface tension of the aqueous polyol (20.00 wt %) solution, the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, 0.50 wt %) solution, and the ink. This was made to clarify the influence of polyol and SDS on the surface tension of ink. In addition, the particle size, zeta potential, pH value, viscosity, and rheological properties of the ink, were also investigated. The resulting data showed that polyols have certain effects on the particle size, stability, and viscosity of the ink. The jetting performances of different polyol inks were, under certain conditions of the inkjet drive waveform, also explored. The results showed that the fluidity, viscosity, and surface tension of the ink will render a certain influence on the inkjet performances. The prepared polyol ink was thereafter used for polyester fabric printing, and the contour sharpness and color fastness of the printed fabric were accordingly evaluated. The data showed that the increase in ink viscosity, and decrease in fluidity, promote the improvement in contour sharpness. In addition, the printed fabric demonstrated an excellent color fastness.

Abstract
β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) is an oligosaccharide composed of seven units of D-(+)-glucopyranose joined by α-1,4 bonds, which is obtained from starch. Its singular trunk conical shape organization, with a well-defined cavity, provides an adequate environment for several types of molecules to be included. Complexation changes the properties of the guest molecules and can increase their stability and bioavailability, protecting against degradation, and reducing their volatility. Thanks to its versatility, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, β-CD is widespread in many research and industrial applications. In this review, we summarize the role of β-CD and its derivatives in the textile industry. First, we present some general physicochemical characteristics, followed by its application in the areas of dyeing, finishing, and wastewater treatment. The review covers the role of β-CD as an auxiliary agent in dyeing, and as a matrix for dye adsorption until chemical modifications are applied as a finishing agent. Finally, new perspectives about its use in textiles, such as in smart materials for microbial control, are presented.

Abstract
Inkjet printing on polyester fabric displays versatile environmental advantages. One of the significant benefits of inkjet printing is a dramatic enhancement of the printing quality. In this study, xanthan gum-a bio-based thickening agent accompanied by several salts-was adopted for the pretreatment of polyester fabric aiming at improving the sharpness and color depth of inkjet printed patterns. The influences of four metal salts (NaCl, KCl, CaCl2 and MgCl2) on inkjet printing performance were studied. More importantly, a quantitative method for evaluating the sharpness of an inkjet printed pattern was established according to the characteristics of anisotropy and isotropy of diffusion and adsorption of ink droplets on a fiber surface. Results showed that xanthan gum along with a low dosage of bivalent salts can significantly improve the color depth (K/S value) and sharpness of the printed polyester fabrics. It is feasible to evaluate the sharpness of inkjet printed polyester fabrics using a five-stage system, selecting the inkjet ellipse coefficient (T) and inkjet ellipse area (S), which can provide a quantitative and rapid evaluation method for defining inkjet printing.

Abstract
The preparation of disperse inks for direct inkjet printing was carried out using disperse dye, dispersant (TD-1109, hydrophilic polyacrylic acid block copolymer), wetting agent (diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol), water-based polymers (polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or waterborne polyester), deionized water, etc. The suitability of disperse inks for polyester fabrics was assessed via measurement of conductivity, pH, particle size surface tension and viscosity. The theological behavior of disperse inks was evaluated by rotational viscometry; the disperse inks had the characteristics of a Newtonian fluid. The inkjet printability of disperse inks was investigated by monitoring droplet formation dynamics, where the viscosity and surface tension of disperse ink were 2.78 mPa s and 33.28 mN m−1, respectively. The disperse ink has excellent ejection performance. The printing accuracy of disperse inks was evaluated by inkjet printing quality of lines on untreated polyester fabrics. The fastness properties of printed polyester fabrics were also evaluated and they presented excellent color fastness. Compared with different printed polyester fabrics, the polyester fabrics printed with disperse ink made from water-based polymers have high color strength (K/S) and saturation (C*) values. The preparation of disperse inks for direct inkjet printing was carried out using disperse dye, dispersant (TD-1109, hydrophilic polyacrylic acid block copolymer), wetting agent (DEG and EG), water-based polymers (PVA or waterborne polyester), deionized water, etc.![]()

Abstract
The resolution of inkjet printing technology is determined by wetting and evaporation processes after the jet drop contacts the substrate. Here, the wetting of different picoliter solubilized polymer droplets jetting onto one-end-closed porous alumina was investigated. The selected polymers are commonly used in inkjet ink. The synergistic effects of the hierarchical structure and substrate surface modification were used to control the behavior of polymer-based ink drops. A model that invokes the effect of surface tension was applied to calculate the amount of polymer solution penetrating into the pores. The calculation corroborates experimental observations and shows that the volume of polymer solution in the pores increases with an increase in pore radius and depth, resulting in less solution remaining on the substrate surface. The structure of the porous substrate coupled with intrinsic polymer properties and surface modifications all contribute to the resolution that can be achieved via inkjet printing.
