... and nanotechnology. Findings Chitosan’s inherent antimicrobial, antioxidant and biocompatible properties make it ideal for use in nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, therapeutic agents, active packaging, water treatment and bio-coatings. Its versatility allows integration into advanced applications (e.g. drug...

... method ISO 105 C06 A2S, rubbing fastness was performed by Crock meter using AATCC 115. The dyed fabrics were characterized by Fourier transform infrared radiation for the existence of various functional groups. Also, antimicrobial activity testing was done by the agar diffusion method (AATCC method SN...

...Ali A. Ali; Maha Mohammed Elsawy; Salem S. Salem; Ahmed A. El-Henawy; Hamada Abd El-Wahab Purpose Paper aims to preparation of new acid disperse dyes based on thiadiazol derivatives and evaluation of their use as antimicrobial colorants in digital transfer-printing ink formulations for printing...

...Anand Dixit; Kunal Wazarkar; Anagha S. Sabnis Purpose Epoxy acrylate which is commercially utilized for UV curable coatings although has excellent adhesion, flexibility, hardness and chemical resistance, they lack in antimicrobial properties. Citric acid (CA) is economical as well as a bio-based...

...Wenxiu Yang; Lin Li; Shuo Wang; Jinshu Liu Purpose The purpose of this paper is to fabricate a high-performance filtration electrospun nanofiber membrane with antibacterial function. The Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) gotten by reducing AgNO₃ act as antimicrobial agent. Then the AgNPs...

... (Curcuma xanthorrhiza), “temu pauh” (Curcuma mangga), “lempoyang” (Zingiber zerumbet) and “bonglai” (Zingiber cassumunar) using alkaline and chemical-based extraction method for antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Design/methodology/approach Through the alkaline...

..., perspiration, rubbing and light were evaluated. Dyed fabrics showed good light fastness property and good to very good washing and perspiration fastness properties according to the gray scale. Antimicrobial activities for synthesized dyes showed excellent activity against gram-negative organisms...

... of the pigments were analyzed by thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). The antimicrobial activity of the thyme plant-extracted pigments was evaluated by measuring the minimal inhibitory concentration. Findings – Apigenin and luteolin flavones were detected as the main components of the natural dyes. Thermal...
