Banana fibers being highly strong and biodegradable, have always been an interesting aspect of polymer science. The research examines the pretreatment process to enhance the dyeability of banana fibers with synthetic dyes, followed by the preparation of polypropylene (PP) composites with dyed fibers to explore their mechanical properties. Raw banan...

Eye-catching, aesthetic fashions often suppress its untold dark story of unsustainable processing including hazardous wet treatment. Considering the risks imposed by conventional cotton scouring and following the trend of scouring with enzymes, this study was undertaken to evaluate the bioscouring of cotton knit fabric involving saponin-enriched so...

The present research work was conducted on developing sustainable production of mulberry filament silk fabric dyed with different extracted dye solutions based on extraction ratios of 1:4, 1:6, 1:8, and 1:10 from neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves. The research work focused on evaluating the antimicrobial and mosquito repellent properties of dyed sil...

Vat dyes are one of the most popular dye classes producing brilliant hues on cellulose, viscose, and linen fabrics. Conventional vat dyes, to be converted into water-soluble leuco form, involve reduction with sodium dithionite which produces lots of harmful and non-renewable bi-products that causes environmental pollution. In this research work, ap...

This work focuses on the properties of banana fibre dyed with basic dyes preceded by scouring and bleaching. The raw banana fibre was pretreated with caustic soda, sodium silicate and hydrogen peroxide which is later been dyed with 5% of Basic dye (Maxilon basic dye) using the hot thermosol method. Data accumulation is carried out by quantitative r...

Natural dyeing has regained its popularity in order to keep the environment clean and safe by reducing the use of harmful chemicals in the dyeing process. Consequently, different natural dyestuff has been used in textile coloration: marigold, henna, onion skin, roots, and tree bark. Among these dyestuffs, tea has been used for the coloration of tex...

Surface modification of jute fabrics by various chemicals in the presence and absence of reactive dye is made in view of their use as reinforcing agents in composites based on propylene (PP) matrix. Fixative as well as conventional NaOH, NaCl, and Na2CO3 were used as chemicals for the modification of jute fabrics. The effects of treated jute fabric...

Natural dyestuff has reverted its position in the colouration of textile substrates due to rising concerns of consumers and buyers, particularly about environmental impacts and health issues. Eucalyptus leaves were selected in this study as a source of natural dye along with some of the most generally used mordants to observe the impact of dyeing o...

Pages 62-69 62 www.wjrr.org  Abstract-Dyeability of jute fabrics with reactive dyes is not very good due to its high crystallinity and high degree of orientation. To achieve this goal with a view to improving the dyeability of jute fabrics, a new approach of chemical modification of jute fibers has been proposed. Indosol-E50 (polyethylene polyamin...

The mixture of Albafix WFF (Poly-diallyl-dimethyl ammonium chloride) sodium hydroxide was used as a modifier for surface modification of jute fabrics to improve the dyeabilities of jute fibers. Jute fabrics were dyed with reactive dye (Drimarene Red K8b) using conventional methods and some new approach of dyeing of jute fibers has been proposed. Re...

This paper presents a comparative study among different jute fabric structures in jute-reinforced polypropylene composites. Knitted and woven fabrics of different structures are produced, which are subsequently consolidated into composite materials using a heat-press method. The variation of mechanical properties and water absorption characteristic...

Surface modification of jute fabrics by chemical treatments with various chemicals in the presence and absence of reactive dye is made in view of their use as reinforcing agents in composites based on propylene (PP) matrix. Indosol-E50, Glycidyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (Glytac), Albafix WFF as well as conventional sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were us...

Flame retardancy of cotton fabrics were investigated by using transition metal ions in conventional flame retardant systems. Semi-durable finish containing ammonium polyphosphate and urea, durable finishes Pyrovatex CP and Proban CC were used as flame retardants in this study. (Fe (II), Cu (II) and Mg (II) metal ions were introduced by pad-dry-cure...
