Abstract

Fashion Technology & Textile Engineering introduces pioneering technologies, and improved understanding of textile materials, processes, chemistry and systems. It will encourage interdisciplinary research which will share newly developed technology, theory and techniques in the fashion and textile

Highlights

  • The antimicrobial finishing process imparts the ability, to textile substrate, to inhibit the growth (-static) or reproduction of at least some types of microorganisms or to kill (-cidal) at least some types of microorganisms”[1,2,3]

  • Some of the bacteria are of pathogenic nature that may cause infections to human [13]

  • The cotton fabric was treated by impregnation with essential oils of orange and green colored lemon peel separately

Summary

Introduction

The antimicrobial finishing process imparts the ability, to textile substrate, to inhibit the growth (-static) or reproduction of at least some types of microorganisms or to kill (-cidal) at least some types of microorganisms”[1,2,3]. The antimicrobial finishing process imparts the ability, to textile substrate, to inhibit the growth (-static) or reproduction of at least some types of microorganisms or to kill (-cidal) at least some types of microorganisms”. The other examples include the applications in food packaging and food storage, and medical, surgery and hygienic products etc [4,5,6]. With the improvement of life standards, the demand of hygienic products is increasing for biocidal finishes in textiles (sports-wears, undergarment, bedlinen) and water filtration. The antibacterial finish treatment has become vital area of medical, surgical and healthcare activities due potential pathogenic microorganisms present in hospital environment and cause cross-infection diseases [7,8,9,10,11]. Some of the bacteria are of pathogenic nature that may cause infections to human [13]
