A green approach for modification and functionalization of wool fabric using bio- and nano-technologies

Abstract In the present work, we propose a green and sustainable strategy for eco-friendly surface modification of wool structure using biosynthesized kerationlytic proteases, from C4-ITA-EGY, Streptomyces harbinensis S11-ITA-EGY carpaticus S33-ITA-EGY, followed by subsequent environmentally sound functionalization bio-treated substrates ZnONPs, ZrO 2 NPs, ascorbic acid vanillin, individually, to provide durable antibacterial as well UV-protection properties. Both changes extent final products were characterized SEM, EDX, efficacy, UV-blocking ability, loss in weight, nitrogen content durability washing analysis. The obtained data reveal that developed fabrics exhibit outstanding activity ability fabricating multi-functional textile can be utilized wide range protective textiles, irrespective used post-finishing formulation ingredients. results also show both processes are governed type enzyme kind active material respectively. Moreover, proteases could accessibly remove protein-based stains like blood egg. Graphical abstract
