...Sehrish Naveed; Bilal Zahid Purpose Traditional stone enzyme washing requires significant amounts of pumice stones, raising environmental concerns like water wastage, pollution and fabric damage. This study investigates enzyme-driven denim washing as a sustainable alternative, aiming to reduce...

...Sehrish Naveed; Farhana Naeem Purpose The purpose of this study is to offer a strategic framework for the optimization of acid and bleach washing process to reduce the deviations in fit and dimensional change of stretch denim garments. Fit and dimensional change are the common issues in the denim...

...Tahreem Beg; Sehrish Naveed Purpose This study aims to investigate the deterioration of pumice stones during denim washing processes, including acid, enzyme and bleach washes, with a focus on the impact of stone size (small, medium and large) on denim fabric aesthetics and performance. It also...

...Sabiha Sezgin Bozok Purpose Titanium(IV) oxide nanoparticles (TiO₂ NP) were deposited to cotton denim fabrics using a self-crosslinking acrylate – a polymer dispersion to extend the lifetime of the products. This study aims to determine the optimum conditions to increase abrasion...

...Saima Habib; Zulfiqar Ali Raza; Farzana Kishwar; Sharjeel Abid Purpose Present study aimed to nanosilver-treat some commercially dyed denim fabric using an eco-friendly cross-linker of citric acid for possible application in the fabrication of sustainable antibacterial and nontoxic surgical gowns...

...Saima Habib; Zulfiqar Ali Raza; Farzana Kishwar; Sharjeel Abid Purpose This paper aims to develop an indigo-dyed denim fabric treated with a nanosilver colloid in the presence of a natural crosslinker of citric acid for possible surgical gown fabrication applications. Design/methodology...

...-cleaning ability of denim fabric with the application of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) synthesized naturally. The primary focus of this investigation is achieving sustainability mark through green synthesis of ZnO NPs. Design/methodology/approach In this analysis, ZnO NPs being one of the metal...

...Amna Siddique; Tanveer Hussain; Waseem Ibrahim; Zulfiqar Ali Raza; Sharjeel Abid Purpose This paper aims to investigate the feasibility of potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) as an efficient discharging agent for indigo-dyed denim fabrics and identification of key variables for its cost...
