| Abstract: | An ecofriendly natural antibacterial finish
has been prepared from the plant extracts for textile application. Herbal
extracts from Ocimum sanctum (tulsi
leaf) and rind of Punica granatum
(pomegranate) have been applied to cotton fabric by the method of direct
application, micro-encapsulation, resin cross-linking and their combinations.
All the treatments show good antibacterial properties for the fabrics. Except
the method of direct application, all other treatments show good washing
durability up to 15 washes. The surface morphological studies using SEM show
the surface coating, microcapsules and some fibrillation. The GC-MS studies
reveal that the major components responsible for the antibacterial properties
are Eugenol, Germacrene and Phytol. A small decrease in tensile strength and
crease recovery angle is observed for resin treated and micro-encapsulated
fabrics respectively. But in the combined processes no significant changes are
observed. |
