“The Benefits of treating some cellulosic fabrics with eggplant peel extract in producing environmentally compatible clothes for children

This research aims to producing advanced cellulosic fabrics treated with eggplant peel extract with multi- functional properties, in order to reach to this goal some factors such as , concentration of extract, type of weaving construction, and type of weft thread material. Three materials were used to thread the weft (Tinsel 100%, Bamboo100%, and Febran 100%), yarn account 30/1.The density of the weft thread is 60 units / inch. The warp threads were fixed for all the fabrics produced under research and they are 100% cotton. Three weaving constructions (Crepe, crawl and spin on 2/3 file, Henicom, mirrored weave. three different concentrations of The eggplant extract (100, 75, 50 ml/l) are used in the treatment in presence of copper sulfate).1g/l) as mordant, chitosan 2g/l and 5g/l of sodium chloride. Some laboratory investigations were carried out as water absorbency, antimicrobial activity, in addition to using the multi-axial RDAR_CHART method to express the evaluation of the total quality of the fabrics produced under the research. The results showed that sample no. (2) Produced from 100% Tinsel weft yarn, with the weaving structure of Henicum, and the concentration of eggplant peel extract 100 ml /l is the best for all properties measured after processing with a quality factor of 84.75%.. Sample no. (6) Produced from 100% bamboo weft thread, with crepe weaving structure, and the concentration of eggplant peel extract 100 without chitosan and mordant is the lowest for all properties measured after processing with a quality factor of 63.28%.
