Eco-friendly functionalization of polyamide fibres via sustainable phyto-synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles using safflower ( Carthamus tinctorius ) extract

The textile industry is increasingly shifting toward sustainable antimicrobial solutions that minimise the environmental and health risks associated with conventional chemical treatments. This study presents a green, one-step synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) usin...

Dyeing of silk using binary mixture of harmal seeds and safflower petals

This study introduces a novel, sustainable binary extract-based dyeing strategy for silk, utilizing natural colorants sourced from harmal (Peganum harmala) seeds and flowers of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) petals. A central composite design was employed to systematically opti...
