In this work, raw fibers of a local species of stabraq (milkweed) were scoured, bleached and blended with cotton fibers with a ratio of 75/25 (cotton/stabraq). The improved stabraq fibers, scoured and bleached cotton and the blended fibers were spun into fine yarns and then they were subjected to dyeing with two types of reactive dyes namely, cold brand and high exhaustion brand reactive dye at...

In this study, a functional colorant, Berberine, extracted from Berberis vulgaris wood was applied onto wool fiber using the extract of roots of Rumex Hymenosepolus as biomordant. The effect of treatment variables on the color strength of dyed fibers was examined. The fastness properties of dyed wool against washing, light, dry and wet rubbing were evaluated. Dyed samples were tested for an...

Cotton fabric was treated with fluorine gas in a nitrogen atmosphere. The effect of fluorination treatments on wettability, whiteness index, dyeability and mechanical properties of cotton fabrics were assessed. Kawabata analysis shows that fluorination treatment increases shear stiffness G, shear hysteresis 2HG5, bending stiffness B and overall fabric stiffness Koshi on cotton fabric. Fluorinat...

Abstract Naturally occurring compounds can be utilized as coloring and finishing agents in environmentally friendly textile products. Aronia melanocarpa (Aronia) fruits (berries) are rich bioactive such various form of polyphenolic showing antibacterial antioxidant, thus numerous studies have been actively conducted on berry extract (AE) recent years. However, most natural including pigments ex...

Three sulfatoethylsulfone reactive dyes have been synthesized and were applied to mill desized, bleached and mercerized cotton fabric. Effect of different dyeing parameters i.e. salt concentration, dyeing time, dyeing temperature and pH of dye solution were being optimized by exhaust dyeing method. The fixation (%F) of the synthesized dye molecules with the cotton fabrics was also studied. Cott...

one of the main issues of nanotechnology is producing materials with new properties. nanotechnology, as a powerful tool, has the ability to create evolution in the agricultural system and food–medicinal industries across the world. producing a high-performance material from reclaimed cellulose material will increase motivation to recycle these materials at all phases of paper production and rem...

To investigate the antibacterial functionality of natural colorant extracts, five kinds of natural dying aqueous solutions were obtained by extraction from peony, pomegranate, clove, Coptis chinensis and gallnut using water at 90 °C for 90 min with a liquor ratio (solid natural colorant material/water, weight ratio) of 1:10. The colorimetric assay and antibacterial activity of cotton, silk, and...
