Bioactive and multifunctional textile using plant-based madder dye: Characterization of UV protection ability and antibacterial activity

Realisation of polyester fabrics with low transmission for ultraviolet light

“…38 Several papers have been published recently that are related to natural dyes or extracts from natural materials and their use for UV-protective applications. [39][40][41] The disadvantages of these systems are that, similarly, they introduce strong coloration, and also the low UV stability of the natural substances themselves. A more textile-based approach for UV-protective materials uses woven fabrics containing metallic weft yarns for UV-protective properties.…”

“…A good example in this field is the use of polyurethane dispersions extended with low molecular‐weight chitosan 38 . Several papers have been published recently that are related to natural dyes or extracts from natural materials and their use for UV‐protective applications 39‐41 . The disadvantages of these systems are that, similarly, they introduce strong coloration, and also the low UV stability of the natural substances themselves.…”

Color-changing intensified light-emitting multifunctional textiles via digital printing of biobased flavin

“…The textiles dyed with natural colorants exhibit better UV blocking ability. [53][54][55] The UPF values range from 15-24, 25-35, above 40, can be rated as good, very good, and excellent UV protection property as per the standard GB/T 18830-2009. In general, UV radiation can be further subdivided into UVA (320-400 nm), UVB (290-320 nm), and UVC (100-290 nm).…”

Novel green coloration of cotton fabric. Part I: Bio-mordanting and dyeing characteristics of cotton fabrics with madder, alkanet, rhubarb and curcumin natural dyes

“…Natural dyes have been recognized since ancient Egyptians. They are obtained from natural resources and renewable, and therefore, their uses will continue to inspire scientists due to their ecological, antimicrobial, and UVprotection characteristics [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The revival use of natural dyes, as well as devising new methods of techniques in textile coloration, is of prime ecological interest [7][8][9][10].…”
