Sugar beet ( L.) leaves as natural colorant for cotton dyeing using an ecofriendly approach toward industrial progress.

In the industrial sector, vegetable residual materials have received attention in the production of bio-colorant for textile dyeing. The current research endeavor is centered on investigating the possibility of using sugar beet leaves as a natural source of dye for the purpose of dyeing cotton fabrics. Different extraction methods were utilized to isolate the bio-colorant present in sugar beet residual material, and the most favorable colorant yield was obtained using a 5% methanolic KOH solution.

Green extraction and application of yellow natural curcumin colorant from Curcuma aromatica rhizomes for silk dyeing.

Green products such as plant tints are becoming more and more well-known worldwide due to their superior biological and ayurvedic properties. In this work, colorant from Amba Haldi (Curcuma aromatica) was isolated using microwave (MW), and bio-mordants were added to produce colorfast shades. Response surface methodology was used to develop a central composite design (CCD), which maximizes coloring variables statistically.

Sustainable appraisal of lipstick tree seeds ()-based bixin natural orange colorant for green mordanted silk fabrics and wool yarns.

This research aims to optimize the silk and wool dyeing process using natural dyes from (annatto) through response surface methodology. Central composite design experiments highlight the significant enhancement of color outcomes achieved through microwave treatment.

Enhancing wool dyeing with clove bud () based natural dye via microwave treatment using a central composite design.

This research investigates the viability of using (clove) as a natural dye for wool yarn through the application of microwave treatment and optimization using central composite design (CCD). As concerns grow over the environmental impact of synthetic dyes and their detrimental disposal in water bodies, the search for eco-friendly alternatives becomes imperative to revolutionize the textile industry. Microwave-assisted extraction of the colorant from clove powder is explored as an efficient and sustainable method, minimizing solvent usage and energy consumption compared to conventional techniques.

Exploring the potential of mahogany extract as a natural dye for the coloration of jute fabric.

The use of synthetic dyes in the textile industry is mostly non-degradable, which are carcinogenic and pollute the environment severely. Natural dyes have gained significant attention recently due to their potential to mitigate the environmental challenges associated with synthetic colorants. This investigation is centered around the extraction of natural dyes sourced from mahogany trees and the exploration of environmentally friendly techniques for coloring jute fabric.

Ultrasonic-assisted sustainable extraction and dyeing of organic cotton fabric using natural dyes from leaf.

As a means of preventing environmental damage caused by synthetic dyes, eco-friendly textile dyeing with natural dyes is gaining popularity worldwide. This study focused on the extraction of dyes from the leaf of () tree using an ultrasonic extraction technique and applied on the organic cotton fabrics. The ultrasonic method was used for both extractions of dyes and dyeing of organic cotton fabrics.

Ultrasonic-assisted sustainable pollution free advanced method for isolation of colouring material from Amba Haldi () for wool dyeing.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the colouring performance of Amba Haldi-based natural extracted yellowish colour for the dyeing of wool fabric using ultrasonic (US) treatments. Before and after the US treatment, the colourant was separated in aqueous and acidic solutions for up to 60 min. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used to investigate the surface morphology and chemical changes in the cloth before and after radiation.

Technological advancement leads researchers to develop multifunctional materials. Considering such trends, this study aimed to conjugate dual functionality in a single material to satisfy aesthetic and functional necessities. We investigated the potentiality of polysorbate 20 to perform as an effective ultraviolet absorber to develop UV-protective fabric.

A comparative analysis for the cleaner production of vortex spun yarn based on the nozzle position.

Spinning is the process of combining and twisting a string of fibers to create a yarn. Vortex spun yarn is one of the advanced development for the high quality and production speeds in the spinning sections. This study aims to analyze and compare the properties of vortex spun yarns of different fibers based on the nozzle position.

Investigation of the performance of okra fiber in woven fabric.

There has been an increase interest in natural plant fibers over the last decades with the intension to identify the ecologically acceptable alternatives to reduce the dependency on synthetic fibers. Naturally extracted okra fiber ( was used in this study. Since okra is a stiff fiber, yarns with 100% Okra fiber was not possible to produce and tried to blend with polyester The maximal ratio of okra was 20% with polyester to spin yarns in traditional ring spinning system.

Recent Developments of Tin (II) Sulfide/Carbon Composites for Achieving High-Performance Lithium Ion Batteries: A Critical Review.

The ever-increasing worldwide energy demand and the limited resources of fossil have forced the urgent adoption of renewable energy sources. Additionally, concerns over CO emissions and potential increases in fuel prices have boosted technical efforts to make hybrid and electric vehicles more accessible to the public. Rechargeable batteries are undoubtedly a key player in this regard, especially lithium ion batteries (LIBs), which have high power capacity, a fast charge/discharge rate, and good cycle stability, while their further energy density improvement has been severely limited, because of the relatively low theoretical capacity of the graphite anode material which is mostly used.

Effect of neutralizers and silicone softeners on phenolic yellowing phenomenon of OBA treated cotton knitted fabric.
