Description
Sirachat Nongsok, Chutima Vanichvattanadecha, and Penwisa Pisitsak dye cotton with lignin and silver using two chitosan pretreatments in a 2026 textile study. Lignin colors fabric while also forming germ fighting silver particles. Two natural forms of chitosan were compared as the base layer.
The alpha form held nearly triple the silver of the beta form. Particles grew larger on alpha treated fabric and smaller on beta treated fabric. Despite lower silver, beta treated fabric killed more staph bacteria in tests. Sun protection, strength, and color depth all improved with coating. Finish designers learn that particle placement can beat particle amount.
