Abstract | This review paper explores recent advancements in technical textiles, focusing on smart textiles and agrotextiles. Part 1 examines smart textiles with an emphasis on photochromic materials that reversibly change color upon UV irradiation. It discusses the application of photochromic dyes using techniques like microencapsulation and screen-printing on cotton fabrics, highlighting expected outcomes such as enhanced UV protection and aesthetic properties. Part 2 delves into agrotextiles, specifically the use of polypropylene woven fabrics as agricultural mulch. An experimental study on marigold cultivation demonstrates improved soil moisture conservation, weed suppression, and plant growth using polypropylene mulch. The paper underscores the potential of these innovative textiles in advancing both fashion and agricultural practices. |
