Abstract:Temperature has a promising role in textile coloration process. This study intends to optimize the dyeing temperature for sustainable coloration of cotton fabric employing banana waste. Natural dye retrieved from banana floral stem by roller squeezer machine. To explore the effect of temperature, samples were dyed for 60℃, 70℃, 80℃, 90℃, 100℃ and 110℃ respectively by keeping constant time at 60 minutes. Effect of temperature variation on colorimetric appearance were expressed using CIE L * a * b * color space … Show more
“…The colour strength (K/S) value of the dyed samples was assessed by a data colour spectrophotometer based on Eq. (1) narrated from Kubelka-Munk theory of reflectance [ 27 ]. Where, R is reflectance of an incident light from the dyed material, K is absorption and S is scattering coefficient of the dyed fabric.…”

Water is the ultimate and mostly used media during textile materials processing, especially in colouration. This study investigated the possibilities of using seawater for cotton and polyester fabrics dyeing. Single jersey fabrics made of 100 percent cotton and polyester were dyed using a standard recipe and two separate water source as dyeing mediums. It has been focused on the assessment of colour fastness to wash, perspiration, saliva, rubbing, water, light and colour difference value due to compare the efficiency of dyeing media. The results revealed that the cotton fabric dyed with seawater showed lighter shade than that of ground water sample. But for polyester fabric darker shade was obtained compared to ground water. The cotton sample dyed with sea water carried about 15% higher colour strength than ground water dyed sample but for polyester it was very negligible, only 3%. Moreover, the results of colour fastness to wash, perspiration, saliva, rubbing, water and light for seawater dyed samples of cotton and polyester were shown satisfactory outcomes having the grading of 4–5 in most of the cases. This exploration established that commercial dyeing processes were robust and can be practically transferable into the seawater medium for cotton and polyester fabrics.

“…where ∆L* = L* sample − L* standard, ∆a* = a* sample − a* standard, and ∆b* = b* sample − b* standard; reading-1 in colored fabric was used as a reference standard, whereas other readings in the same dyed fabric were referred to as samples. Table 5 shows how ∆E values were used to indicate the degree of levelness [34].…”
Multifunctional fabrics using conventional processes have piqued increasing global interest. The focus of this experiment was to assess the modification of the cotton fabric surface by utilizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and introducing functional properties along with sustainable dyeing performance. A single-jersey knitted fabric composed of cellulose-enriched 100% natural fiber (cotton) with an areal density of 172 GSM was used in this study. The standard recipe and test methods were employed. FTIR-ATR spectra were used to determine the fixing of AgNPs onto the fiber surface. A comparative assessment was conducted in response to the distribution of color, color fastness to wash, water, perspiration, rubbing, and light. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the surface of nano-Ag-deposited specimens. In terms of functional properties, antimicrobial activity was scrutinized. Our findings reveal that the nanoparticles impart remarkable antibacterial effects to cellulose-enriched fabric against S. aureus (Gram-positive) and E. coli (Gram-negative). Direct dyes were used for dyeing the proposed samples, resulting in enhanced dyeing performance. Except for light fastness, the samples dipped with AgNPs showed outstanding color levelness and color durability characteristics. The developed fabrics can be applied in a wide range of functions, including protective clothing, packaging materials, and healthcare, among others.
“…8,9 The application of metal salt mordants is a welldocumented method to enhance dye affinity toward natural fibers, helping form larger, less soluble complexes that are retained within the substrate. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Despite their effectiveness, the environmental and health implications of metallic mordants are a subject of ongoing debate. Recent innovations such as microwave energy and response surface methodology have been introduced to improve the bonding of dye molecules and reduce the environmental footprint of the dyeing process.…”
Textile coloration is a complex process involving the interaction of dye molecules with fibers in a dye bath. Synthetic dyes pose environmental hazards, leading to increased interest in natural dyes sourced from plants, animals, and minerals. However, natural dyes often require mordants for application to textiles. Despite their eco‐friendliness, natural dyes can exhibit poor wash fastness on fabrics, necessitating further research to enhance their performance. This study investigates the use of mahogany sawdust extract as a natural dye for cotton coloration, focusing on the enhancement of fastness properties through metallic mordants and associated environmental risks. Mahogany sawdust, rich in flavonoids and tannins, shows promise as a sustainable alternative to synthetic dyes. The dyeing process involves the extraction of natural dyes from sawmill bio‐waste and subsequent application onto cotton fabrics using various metallic mordants. Evaluation of colorfastness properties, color strength, color coordinates, tensile strength, FTIR, and SEM analysis provides insights into the dye‐fiber interactions and fabric properties. Environmental risk assessment considers metal exhaustion onto fabric surfaces, residual metal concentrations in mordant baths, and metal content in dyeing wastewater. Overall, this study contributes to the development of sustainable dyeing processes and highlights the importance of environmental considerations in textile coloration.Highlights
