Abstract
The objective of this study is to explore, identify, and evaluate the bioactive compound extracted from orange peels (OP) via ultrasonic method as potential eco-friendly agent for multifunctional cellulosic fabrics/fibers. The innovative strategy involved two approaches. (1) A closely prepared surface modification procedure for the production of multifunctional viscose fibers was successfully developed by an eco-friendly in situ synthesis of Ag, ZnO, and ZnO/Ag nanoparticles (NPs) using phenolic compounds extracted from OP. The treated viscose fibers are endowed with remarkable antimicrobial, antioxidant, UV protection, as well as photo catalytic self-cleaning activity properties. (2) The microcapsulation and application of limonene extracts from OP as insect-repellent agent for application in textile field. On the basis of the resultant promoting data, the OP extract can be considered as a promising cheap source that can be employed to develop multifunctional finishing textiles. Therefore, this study int...
