Description
This book delves into the vital role of cotton in India’s economy, focusing on its production, textile applications, and the ongoing challenges related to fabric properties. Cotton, often referred to as “White Gold,” is not only a key agricultural product but also a cornerstone of India’s textile industry. The book examines common issues faced by cotton fabrics, such as wrinkles and bacterial growth, and presents innovative solutions using natural and eco-friendly finishes. Special emphasis is placed on chitosan, a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin, to provide both anti-crease and antibacterial properties. This research also explores the benefits of sustainable, herbal-based finishes, addressing the environmental concerns of traditional textile treatments.
