Abstract
Our study compares the impact of two different natural dyes on cellulosic fabrics i.e., banana cotton 50:50 (Musa acuminata x Gossypium) and bamboo cotton 50:50 (Bambusa vulgaris x Gossypium). As these fabrics are natural fibres, they have a number of favourable properties when compared to artificial fibres, particularly that they are biodegradable. Selected fabrics were dyed using natural dyes derived from Rubia tinctorum L. (madder), and Punica granatum L. (pomegranate). The roots of madder and the peel of pomegranate were selected for the dyeing process. Madder was used separately for dyeing the fabrics and it was also then combined with pomegranate to compare its impact on the fabrics. The impact of the natural dye on the cellulosic fabrics was analysed by evaluating their physical strength, chemical composition, fabric surface morphology and anti-microbial activity.
我们的研究比较了两种不同的天然染料对纤维素织物的影响,即香蕉棉50:50 (Musa acuminata x Gossypium)和竹棉50:50 (Bambusa vulgaris x Gossypium)。由于这些织物是天然纤维,与人造纤维相比,它们具有许多有利的特性,特别是它们是可生物降解的。选用从茜草和石榴中提取的天然染料对织物进行染色。选用茜草根和石榴皮进行染色。将茜草单独用于织物染色,然后将其与石榴混合,比较其对织物的影响。通过对天然染料的物理强度、化学成分、织物表面形态和抗菌活性的评价,分析了天然染料对纤维素织物的影响。
