Application of natural dyes on textiles
TLDR
In this paper, the authors have reported the studies available on the characterization and chemical/biochemical analysis of natural dyes; extraction of colorants from different natural sources; effects of different mordants and mordanting methods; conventional and non-conventional methods of natural dyeing; physico-chemical studies on dyeing process variables and dyeing kinetics; development of newer shades and analysis of colour parameters for textiles dyed with natural dye.Abstract:
This paper reports the studies available on the characterization and chemical/biochemical analysis of natural dyes; extraction of colorants from different natural sources; effects of different mordants and mordanting methods; conventional and non-conventional methods of natural dyeing; physico-chemical studies on dyeing process variables and dyeing kinetics; development of newer shades and analysis of colour parameters for textiles dyed with natural dyes; and test of compatibility for application of binary mixture of natural dyes. The chemical modification of textile substrate for improving dyeability, attempts for improvement in overall colour fastness properties and survey of some traditional processes of natural dyeing in different parts of India have also been discussed.read more

Adsorption study of lac dyes with chitosan coated on silk fibroin using molecular dynamics simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to calculate the binding free energy between silk and chitosan and found that the average binding free energies between lac dyes and silk were lower than those between laccaic acids and silk without chitoshan (−13.4 and −108.5 ǫ/ǫ).
Analysis of eco-friendly medicinal herb extracts and essential oil applications on textile products for healthcare applications
TL;DR: A clinical trial was conducted in a nature cure centre and the subjective evaluation of the healthcare performance of the products showed good results in all the cases, showing that the products are equipped with good anti-microbial activity.
