Modification of cotton gauze using Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass) and assessment of the chemical and antimicrobial properties.

Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) is a tropical grass found in all tropical and subtropical areas. It is widely found in Bangladesh and well known for its antimicrobial properties. Cotton gauze is a woven cloth which is used for wound dressing and wound cushioning.

Role of mordants in natural fabric dyeing and their environmental impacts.

The textile industry is undergoing a transformative shift towards sustainability, driven by mounting environmental concerns and consumer demand for eco-friendly products. This review article explores the use of mordants in textile dyeing processes, encompassing both traditional metal mordants and emerging bio-mordants. Metal mordants, commonly used in textile dyeing, present environmental challenges due to their toxic nature.

Splitting and authentication of the newest retrieved cellulose-rich organic fiber from the exterior layer of Bangladeshi palmyra seed sprouts.

The upward trajectory of plant-based cellulosic fiber originating from renewable sources is crucial to visualizing a sustainable future. This article reports a freshly developed and distinctive natural fiber derived from palmyra seed sprout fibers (PSSF) by employing hot water retting. The hygroscopic behavior (moisture regain and content) density, bundle fiber strength, burning behavior, and chemical composition of the fiber are determined using ASTM D1909, ASTM D2654, ASTM D891-18, ASTM D1445, ASTM D1230-22, and TAPPI standards, respectively.

Developing and Screening of a Bacteria-Fighting and Moisture-Controlling and Poly(vinyl alcohol) Electrospun Nanofibrous Mat.

Nanofibers are extensively employed in the antimicrobial industry owing to their remarkable properties and diverse applications. Managing wounds poses a significant and enduring challenge for healthcare systems globally. This study aims to produce and evaluate electrospun nanofiber mats made from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and () leaf extract, highlighting the medicinal properties of this herbal product for potential biomedical applications (wound dressing).

Sustainable development of three distinct starch based bio-composites reinforced with the cotton spinning waste collected from fiber preparation stage.

Composites are new materials that combine two or more distinct components with diverse properties to create a new material with improved properties. The goal of this endeavor was to use fiber preparation wastes, or waste from cotton spinning mill blow room and carding, to produce bio composites based on starch. The matrix was prepared using the starches of potatoes, maize, and arrowroot, and any remaining reinforcing material was used.

Enhancement of antibacterial and UV protection properties of blended wool/acrylic and silk fabrics by dyeing with the extract of leaves and metal salts.

In response to the heightened awareness of infectious diseases and the growing emphasis on personal protection in daily life, the utilization of natural bioresources for textile fabric dyeing has garnered substantial research attention. This is particularly due to their ability to confer antibacterial and UV protection properties to fabrics. In this study, the dyeing properties of Linn extract, alone and mordanted, were evaluated on blended wool/acrylic and silk fabrics, along with an assessment of their antibacterial and UV protection characteristics.

Extraction and characterization of a newly developed cellulose enriched sustainable natural fiber from the epidermis of .

Riding on the journey of a sustainable world it is very crucial to extend the usage of natural cellulosic fiber from renewable sources. Due to their numerous applications and eco-friendly behavior, natural cellulosic fibers are in greater demand every day. In this article a new natural fiber extracted from the creepers of with the help of 5% NaOH retting process.

A low-density cellulose rich new natural fiber extracted from the bark of jack tree branches and its characterizations.

The demand of natural cellulosic fibers has been increasing day by day due to their versatile uses and eco-friendly nature. The reason behind this demand is due to some unique properties of natural fibers that are suitable for several fibrous applications such as in composite, textile, nano-materials, conductive carbon, biomaterials etc. In this study, a new natural cellulosic fiber is extracted from the bark of the jack tree branches by water retting process.
