Abstract

In a ground-breaking study, madder dye extract and innovative mordants converge to create an eco-friendly dyeing revolution for silk, unlocking enhanced UV protection. Through FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, the presence of potent anthraquinone components is revealed, while FTIR and XRD analyses confirm the silk's integrity amidst mesmerizing transformations observed via SEM. Remarkably, three samples achieve an impressive UPF greater than 39, ensuring robust defence against harmful rays. This research not only champions the sustainable use of natural materials but also presents a thrilling alternative to traditional metallic mordants, proving that nature's power can redefine the future of functional textiles.
