Abstract
Silk is valued as one of the prominent protein textile fibers under the animal category famous for the distinct properties such as lustrous appearance, comfort performance, remarkable shiny sheen and also towards the bio-applications. In general, silk is highly sensitive and delicate; hence, there is a need for the protection in order to protect silk from the unwanted impacts of chemicals, light and insects. According to this consideration, in this work it is decided to give an application with polyacrylic acid (PA) and chitosan (CT) followed by adopting coloration process using selected natural dyes and a synthetic reactive dye. The silk fabric samples were undergone to specific tests like measuring the common physical properties, color values and the respective fastness aspects, hand values, antibacterial, uv protection performances and FTIR studies. The outcome of the results give very considerable improvement towards the protection aspects for the silk fabric specific for the textiles / garments and other utility products.
