Abstract:

The present scenario is focused more towards the utilization of the vast diversity of natural resources of color pigments for their use in food materials, pharmaceuticals and textiles, in place of their synthetic counterparts. This trend is aimed at safeguarding human health as well as protecting and prolonging life on earth. Due to increasing awareness of environmental issues and also pollution produced by synthetic dyes, wide spread interest has emerged in the dyeing of textile fibres using natural colorants on account of their better biodegradability and higher compatibility. This research aim is to extract the eco-friendly natural dye obtained from the flower of Russelia equisetiformis apply on silk fabrics using single mordants. The fastness properties of the flower of Russelia equisetiformis dyed silk fabrics have been studied using different concentrations (1%, 2% and 3%). The wash, rub, light and perspiration fastness of the dyed samples have been evaluated. The constituents present in the flower of Russelia equisetiformis are determined by using GC-MS analysis. The same procedure is repeated for the nano natural dyes obtained from the same plant parts. From the Comparison of these studies which helps the large scale preparation of the natural dye.
