The results proved that dewberry fruit extract could be an excellent natural dye source for the coloration of tencel and other cellulosic textiles. Using bio-mordants like <i>T.chebula</i> and <i>A.mearnsii</i> has improved the color properties, producing vibrant shades of color with high color strength. The color fastness ratings tested by ISO standards showed improvement after using bio-mordant. Additionally, using the AATCC 100–1999 (The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorist) test methodology, the bio-mordanted tencel samples showed excellent bacterial reduction against <i>S.aureus</i> and <i>E.coli</i> bacteria.

Two new azo dyes, designated 4-(4-nitrophenylazo) salicylic acid (SS) and 4-(4-nitrophenylazo) catechol (OH), were prepared by diazotization of 4-nitroaniline followed by coupling with salicylic acid and catechol, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and other analytical techniques confirmed the structural integrity of the dyes before and after application to cotton, wool, acrylic, and polyester fabrics. The dyes exhibited the best color strength (<i>K/S</i>) and fastness properties on cotton. The exhaustion and fixation of the dyes onto cotton fibers improved with increasing temperature, reaching optimal efficiencies (83.92 and 80.34% for SS and 89 and 84.36% for OH) at 95 °C. Furthermore, the study investigates a sustainable method for removing the dyes from textile wastewater. Sugarcane bagasse, a cost-effectiveness and environmentally friendly sorbent, achieved effectual dye elimination from wastewater after sulfuric acid pre-treatment (superior to formaldehyde). This treatment achieved a remarkable 99.34% removal efficiency under optimal conditions (2.5 g, 50 ppm, pH 9, 200 rpm, 120 min). Adsorption exhibited characteristics of both Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetics. Diffusion studies revealed intraparticle diffusion as the rate-controlling step, with film diffusion likely governing the adsorption. Regression modeling yielded an <i>R</i>² of 93.89% between process factors and dye removal. The effectiveness was further validated by treating real-world, highly polluted textile wastewater obtained from an Egyptian factory.

Sericin, a sustainable biopolymer with potential textile applications, has garnered attention for its favorable properties.

To explore innovative uses of sericin in textile functionalization, this study thoroughly investigated the effects of sericin finishing on the thermal comfort properties of worsted wool fabric. Employing an exhaustion method, the research evaluated changes in chemical composition (including functional groups, elemental composition, and amino acid contents), morphology, thermal stability, and thermal comfort attributes (such as thermal resistance, warming/cooling perception, air and moisture permeability, moisture regain, and hydrophobicity) of sericin-treated worsted fabric. The results indicated significant enhancements in primary transmission characteristics, with sericin-treated wool fabric exhibiting notable improvements in thermal resistance (0.041 ± 0.007 K.m²/W–three times higher than untreated wool), warmth perception (maximum heat flux of 0.096 ± 0.003 W/cm²), moisture vapor transmission rate (3.45 ± 0.15 mg/cm²/h), air permeability (106.13 ± 2.46 cm³/cm²/s), moisture regain (13.17 ± 0.25%), and contact angle (123.68 ± 1.32 º).

The surface morphological properties were studied through SEM, EDS, XPS, FTIR, and XRD analysis. Further, TGA analysis shows the thermal stability of films, while films exhibit a moderate reduction in tensile strength upon addition of curcumin.

The results revealed that the pseudo-2nd-order kinetic model was fitted to adsorption mechanism with correlation coefficients (<i>R</i>² &gt; 0.90). In addition, the 20 mg adsorbent of 1.0-Cur/ANFs aerogel film after 120 min contact time in MG dye solution have excellent adsorption capacity (93.68%) as compared to all samples.
