Handbook of Renewable Materials for Coloration and Finishing

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 theHandbook of Renewable Materials for Coloration and Finishingare:
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
