Antimicrobial Rnish on Textiles Using Kuppivaeni for Sldn Diseases

(2010) Amsamani, S

h e awareness of health and hygiene for consumers has increased the demand for antimicrobial textiles. Whilst in the past it w as predominantly technical textiles that had antimicrobial finishes, in particular to protect against bacteria and fungi, nowadays textiles worn close to the body have been developed for a variety of different applications in the field of medicine and hygiene. An antimicrobial finish on fabrics can minimise the transfer of microorganisms on to the wearer by creating a physical barrier. It prevents skin diseases caused by the microorganisms. Various medicinal plants found in nature exhibit excellent antimicrobial properties. A new approach is made to make textile material antimicrobial using natural extracts on cotton fabrics to cure skin allergies. The 'miracle plant'. Indian Acalypha (Kuppivaeni). which is a commonly available plant in Tamil Nadu, wa s chosen for the study, which involved the applications of Kuppivaeni-leaf extracts on to cotton fabric by optimising the process conditions and then treating the fabrics with different concentrations. The treated samples were tested for activity as per AATCC 147. i AATCC 100 and AATCC 30 agar diffusion test methods. 100% treated fabric was found to be much softer and its washing fastness was found to be better than all the other treated samples. An attempt w as also made to a ssess the healing activity of the Kuppivaeni-treated shirr on skin allergies and rashes. This ecofriendly antimicrobial finish has significant potential in curing skin ., diseases and offers excellent scope in forthcoming years.

Decolourization of Textile Dye Biomass of Aspergillus fumigatus Effluent by Non-Viable

(2012) Kalaiarasi, K; Lavanya, A; Amsamani, S; Bagyalakshmi, G

The aim of this work was to study the decolourization of textile dye effluent by non-viable biomass of Aspergillus fumigates. The dried non-viable fungal biomass exhibited maximum dye removal at pH 7.0 with temperature of 30°C and 3 g/l fw/vj biomass concentration, after 24 h contact time. The results showed that the non-viable biomass possessed high efficiency for dye removal from textile effluent.
