This unique handbook provides a vivid multidisciplinary dimension through technological perspectives to present cutting-edge research in the field of natural coloration and finishing. The 20 chapters are divided in to four parts: Substrates for coloration and finishing; renewable colorants and their applications; advanced materials and technologies for coloration and finishing; sustainability.
Among the topics included in the Handbook of Renewable Materials for Coloration and Finishing are:
- The systematic discussion on the suitability, physical, chemical and processing aspects of substrates for coloration and finishing
- Bio-colorant’s application as photosensitizers for dye sensitized solar cells
- Animal based natural dyes
- Natural dyes extraction and dyeing methodology
- Application of natural dyes to cotton and jute textiles
- Sol-gel flame retardant and/or antimicrobial finishings for cellulosic textiles
- Rot resistance and antimicrobial finish of cotton khadi fabrics
- Advanced materials and technologies for antimicrobial finishing of cellulosic textiles
