“…The crosslinking of the citric compound with the cellulose resists the shifting of bonding to a new place, consequently, an improvement in the crease recovery angle [ 44 ]. The capping of citric acid over the as-prepared nanoparticles has a fair chance to develop crosslinking with the fabric and the improvement in fabric easy-care performance [ 45 ]. To validate the claim, both fabrics treated with Ag@CINN and Ag@CINN-Lim nanoparticles were evaluated for easy-care performance against the untreated fabric.…”

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are most effective against pathogens and have widely been studied as antibacterial agents in commodity clothing, medical textile, and other hygiene products. However, prolonged utilization of silver and rapid mutation in bacterium stains has made them resistant to conventional silver agents. On the other hand, strict compliance against excessive utilization of toxic reagents and the current sustainability drive is forcing material synthesis toward green routes with extended functionality. In this study, we proposed an unprecedented chemical-free green synthesis of bioactive Ag-NPs without the incorporation of any chemicals. Cinnamon essential oil (ECO) was used as a bio-reducing agent with and without the mediation of lime extract. A rapid reaction completion with better shape and size control was observed in the vicinity of lime extract when incorporated into the reaction medium. The interaction of natural metabolites and citrus compounds with nanoparticles was established using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. The application of as-prepared nanoparticles on textiles encompasses extended bioactivity to treated fabric with infused easy-care performance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported instance of utilizing bioactive silver nanoparticles as a functional finish, both as an antimicrobial and as for easy care in the absolute absence of toxic chemicals. The easy-care performance of fabric treated with lime-mediated nanoparticles was found to be 141O, which is around 26% better than bare cotton without any significant loss in fabric strength. Furthermore, to enlighten the sustainability of the process, the development traits were mapped with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which show significant influence on SDGs 3, 8, 9, and 14. With the effective suspension of microorganisms, added functionality, and eco-mapping with SDGs with the chemical-free synthesis of nanoparticles, widespread utilization can be found in various healthcare and hygiene products along with the fulfillment of sustainability needs.

“…It can be seen from the images of TA-ZnO/cotton, OA-ZnO/cotton, and SA-ZnO/cotton in Figure 3c-e, a new peak appears at 1732 cm −1 , it is attributable to the peaks of ester and carboxyl groups. It is evident that hydroxyl of cotton fiber was esterified with carboxyl in dicarboxylic acids, and carboxyl was introduced [26].…”

In this paper, we explore the self-cleaning and washing durability of green-prepared ZnO NPs combined with cotton fabrics. Honeysuckle extract was used to prepare ZnO NPs with an average particle size of 15.3 nm. Cotton fabrics were then treated with oxalic acid (OA), tartaric acid (TA), and succinic acid (SA) as cross-linking agents, sodium hypophosphite as a catalyst, and after that, the ZnO NPs were applied to the cross-linked cotton fabrics by the padding to prepare the self-cleaning cotton fabrics. The morphology and structure of the fabric samples were characterized using FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and XRD. The optical properties of the cotton fabric samples were discussed by UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum, and the self-cleaning performance, wrinkle recovery angle and ultraviolet protection performance of the cotton fabric samples were analyzed. The results showed that the carboxyl groups of TA, OA, and SA were esterified with hydroxyl groups of the cotton fiber and formed a film on the surface of the cotton fabrics. ZnO NPs were successfully loaded onto the cotton fabrics by strong electrostatic interaction, causing the improvement of the washing resistance of the cross-linked fabrics. In addition, compared with uncross-linked fabrics, the wrinkle recovery performance of the cross-linked fabrics had also been greatly improved, and the UV protection factor reached 50+, thus obtaining an excellent self-cleaning, multifunctional cotton-based textile with anti-wrinkle and anti-ultraviolet properties.

“…Polycarboxylic acids, being able to crosslink with the hydroxyl group of the cellulose through esterification, were introduced as a new class of formaldehyde-free easy-care finish with intrinsic antimicrobial properties. Butane tetracarboxylic acid (BTCA), citric acid (CA), maleic acid (MA), and succinic acid (SA) were broadly studied in literature as a formaldehyde-free durable press finish for cellulosic (Sarwar et al 2019). BTCA is way too costly for commercial use.…”

“…Nanotechnology revolutionized the manufacturing of functional textiles with its cutting-edge benefits and cost-effectiveness. Metal oxide nanoparticles were used to catalyze the esterification reaction of carboxylic acids with the least effect of tensile strength, but results were not significant (Sarwar et al 2019). Ibrahim et al (2020) incorporate silver nanoparticles and fluorocarbon with dimethylol-dihydroxy-ethylene urea (DMDHEU) and study their impact on improved functionality considering various cellulosic fabrics and their blend.…”

Cross-linkers have great importance in textile due to the widespread utilization of cellulosic fibers for clothing. Unfortunately, the acute toxicity of formaldehyde-based resins and the poor performance of non-formaldehyde resins still keep the research door open for scientists in this area. Herein, we demonstrated copper nanoparticles induced trimesic acid grafted cellulose as a sustainable solution for multifunctional easy-care clothing. Our treated fabric presents crease recovery angle value of 248°comparable to that of most promising citric acid-based cross-
