Sustainable functional finishing for cotton fabrics using chestnut shell extract

Owing to global environmental concerns, sustainable industrial processes have become a topic of significant importance in various fields. Chestnut shells are byproducts agricultural and food industries; however, they include health-beneficial compounds such as polyphenols flavonoids. In this study, the feasibility using chestnut shell extract natural functional agent for textile finishing was investigated. The prepared by boiling inner outer distilled water 4 h. Subsequently, filtered, centrifuged, concentrated, finally dried into powder form freeze dryer. then dissolved at different concentrations applied cotton fabrics through pad-dry-cure process. finished were investigated scanning electron microscope, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, etc. addition, antibacterial antioxidant properties examined properties. results showed that exhibited antibacterial, antioxidant, deodorant when concentration above 10% (w/v) bath.
