Abstract

Safe, durable and environmentally friendly antimicrobial textiles are in great demand in the market nowadays. The present investigation aims to assess antibacterial properties of Mikania micrantha leaf extract as a sustainable textile finish. The methodology utilized solvent extraction using pure methanol (100%) and application via pad-dry technique on various fabric types, supplemented with 7% citric acid as a crosslinking agent to enhance durability. The AATCC 90:2011 method was used to determine antibacterial activity of the treated fabrics against Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 7443). Standard techniques were used to characterize the pre- and post-treated textiles, including fabric weight, thickness, crease recovery angle, elongation, stiffness, tensile strength and SEM. The treated fabrics demonstrated a significant (p ≤ 0.05) inhibition zone: Eri/Cotton (21.22 mm) > Eri/Eri (19.00 mm) > Eri/Mulberry (18.67 mm). It was noted that these key physical attributes were not being adversely affected by the finish. Even after ten (10) washes, the fabrics were found to exhibit a significant (p ≤ 0.05) antibacterial activity in the order of Eri/Mulberry (11.22 mm) > Eri/Eri (10.22 mm) > Eri/Cotton (8.00 mm). The findings of the present study indicate that the invasive Mikania micrantha leaves extract has potential as a promising and safer alternative for antimicrobial finishing and its application in textile and medical industries, with a keen focus on mitigating environmental impact.
