Abstract | ||||
The simultaneous dyeing and finishing of cotton fabrics using natural agents such as chitosan and anthocyanin has the potential to produce smart textiles that respond to changes in pH, as well as improve the sustainability and environmental performance of textiles. In this study. The pure cotton fabric fabric was treated with an aqueous-based anthocyanin extract as the dye, while chitosan as the finishing agent. The results showed that, this treatment resulted in improving dye uptake, as well as enhanced antimicrobial and protective properties of the finished fabrics. The finished cotton fabric exhibited smart textile properties, responding to changes in pH. These findings demonstrate the potential of chitosan and anthocyanin as natural agents for the simultaneous dyeing and finishing of cotton fabrics and highlight the importance of sustainable finishing approaches in the textile industry. | ||||
