A Global Challenges Research Funded research collaboration between researchers from the Department of Fibres and Textile Chemistry, Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai India and Manchester Fashion Institute, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, U.K.
- A collaborative project between researchers from the Department of Fibres and Textile Chemistry, Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai India and Manchester Fashion Institute, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.
- Researchers reported the antimicrobial efficacy of organic cotton fabrics finished with nano-emulsions extracted from moringa oleifera (drumstick tree) and aegle marmelos (commonly called Bael) and offered microbial resistance after 20 washes demonstrating its durability.
- Novel finishing developed in this research using herbal nano-emulsions can be used as healthcare and hygiene textiles.
