The initial experiment was conducted with 10 g/L <i>Sapindus</i> extract for 60 min at a boil, and the initial experiments indicated effective degumming. Further degumming experiments were conducted using RSM to optimise the process parameters, with weight loss being the primary response. The results revealed an optimised recipe for degumming was 9 g/L <i>Sapindus</i> extract at 92°C for 30 min, and the desirability value for this optimised recipe is 0.376. Eri silk that has been alkali-degummed loses more weight than silk degummed with <i>Sapindus</i> extract and soap. Comparatively speaking, degumming with <i>Sapindus</i> extract has a lesser impact on tensile strength than degumming with alkaline and soap. The whiteness, yellowness, brightness, and absorbency values between <i>Sapindus</i> extract and conventional degumming do not significantly differ. Compared with soap and <i>Sapindus</i> extract degumming, alkaline degummed fabric exhibits higher dye uptake. After being degummed with soap and <i>Sapindus</i> extract instead of alkaline, the fabric felt softer. Overall, the results show that both degumming with <i>Sapindus</i> extract and traditional methods are equally effective.</p>","PeriodicalId":10502,"journal":{"name":"Coloration Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43199995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ramie fibre, used for blending, is a ligno-cellulosic fibre with very high tenacity but low elongation. On the other hand, silk (mulberry) fibre has lower tenacity with better elongation. Blended fibrous structures have shown satisfactory tensile strength and elongation, while other physical properties, such as coefficient of friction, brightness and flexural rigidity, have also been improved. Technical findings revealed that the coefficient of friction reduced from 0.79 to 0.48 and specific work of rupture improved from 2.3 to 3.43 mJ/tex after incorporation of silk in the ligno-cellulosic fibre strand. Blended yarn cross-sectional images showed that finer silk fibres came to the surface, whereas the comparatively coarser cellulose-based ramie fibre migrated to the core. Atomic force microscopy of the blend structure was examined to assess the roughness and uniformity of the surface. Fourier Transform–infrared spectroscopy analysis verified the presence of amide groups (associated with silk fibre) and glucose ring groups (associated with the cellulose of Ramie fibre) in the same graph. In addition, innovative techniques of simultaneous coloration of the developed blends are also proposed scientifically.</p>","PeriodicalId":10502,"journal":{"name":"Coloration Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45215489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
