Natural dyes and antimicrobials for green treatment of textiles (2014, unknown): “These dyes can offer not only a rich and varied source of dyestuff, but also could be considered as safe, environmentally friendly and low-cost treatments with additional benefit of coloring in a single stage (Samanta and Agarwal 2009; Samanta and Konar 2011).”
Phytoremediation: Potential flora for synthetic dyestuff metabolism (2016, background): “However, the provision of narrow or dull range of colors along with exhibition of low color fastness on exposure to washing and sunlight has limited their applicability (Maddhinni et al., 2006; Samanta and Agarwal, 2009; da-Silva et al., 2010).”
The role of natural dyes in the UV protection of fabrics made of vegetable fibres (2011, background): “Taking into account that the use of non-allergic, non-toxic and eco-friendly natural dyes on textiles has become a matter of significant importance due to increased environmental awareness in order to avoid hazardous synthetic dyes [26], and that some natural dyes can also have natural antimicrobial”
Classifications, properties and applications of textile dyes: A review (2017, background): “Natural dyes are mostly non-substantive and must be applied on textiles by the help of mordants, usually a metallic salt, having an affinity for both the colouring matter and the fibre[4].”
