R & D Project

Bio- based materials for functional textiles

The textile industry is immensely based on novelty and advancement of higher execution
incentive for the fashion industry. functional textiles are one of the most significant fields in
textile industry and textile materials science. some functional and smart textiles band with the
market covers a range of materials-both woven and nonwoven-used in applications such as
oil repellent textiles ,ultraviolet protective ,water repellent, flame resistant, cool feeling,
jogging clothing, cycling textile, antifungal and antibacterial textile, ultraviolet protective textile,
biomass briquettes functional textiles made from natural fiber, polymer and bio-based
membrane.[Prof.(Dr.)M.D.Teli;2019].
INTRODUCTION :
Bio-based fiber manifested from renewable raw materials.textiles that are bio-based are
derived from renewable resources including starch from corn and,cassava,sugar cane,pinatex
from pineapple leaves [Prahl,A;2018] these bio-based materials are a substitute to petroleum-
based product. therefore, bio-based materials are effectively bridges the hole into synthetic
and natural fibers and wide range of uses in packaging, house ware, clothing, medical
(sewing, vascular & tissue implants) [Yimin Qin;2016] and other functional textiles.
OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY:
To promising high performance lingering quality that claim of consumers. Bio-based product
will be biodegradability avoids extensive recycling cost.[Richardson,C;2018].To obtain
excessive dye exhaustion and minimize the cost of functional textiles. Specially medical
absorbable and protective items.To achieving mite-resistance, energy efficient non-toxicity
and hygienic of textiles.
DESCRIPTION & RESEARCH GOAL :
A Varied range of textile product is being made from biosynthetic fibers. Dependency on
petroleum-based resource is becoming more risky,Onward merchandise bio-based resources
gives us substitute to creating textiles and apparel, while opening up advantage for new
performance with less influence on resource use.[Mather,S;2018].Bio-materials will be eco-
friendly.This research will encourage the future to analysis more elements of environment.
LITERATURE REVIEW :
Although.Conventional textiles materials have some adverse feature that can not be
withdrawn.However,Research of new textiles from natural renewable resource is necessary &
essential not only apparels but also technical properties for good appearance,easy care,and
deals with smart textiles:electronics,automotive etc. by advancement of technology
[Daniele et al,Monica et al,Fabien et al;n.d.].Bio-based product is uplifted processing for lower
temperature yarn texturing and dying action for textile product.
 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK:
Thereare some 100% bio-based, biodegradable, on-toxic polymers are polylactic acid
(C3H4O2)n,polyhydroxibutyrate-co-valerate(PHBV),and polyurethanes(wheat straw).
[textileexchange,2018,p.12;13] but, due to some obstacle of high brittleness(PLA) &
Imperfect spinnability (PHBV) Both are not easy to use in textile. Nevertheless, blending of
PLA &PHBV into textile fibers provides us good result.Developed by the hong kong research

instute of textile [HKRITA;n.d.] 1.Bio-based materials

6.Technology push up > Bio-based product

2.Fermentation 3.Condensation
METHODOLOGY :
1. Find out bio-based materials from natural resources and modify for fibre (e.g:sugar cane)
2. By checking fiber maturity,brittleness,rigidity,tensile strength when fibre can be found.
3. If we get fibre then ahead with the support of yarn processing technology for functional textiles.
4. If it’s need to dye following a set of parameters: (temperature,time,liquor ratio,Ph values).
5. It should maintain certified rules of materials and textiles organization
6. For manufacture of stockings this outcome manner correspond with the
industrial standard [HKRITA;n.d,]
7. Final packaging and reach to the consumers with worldwide.
