Development of a Technology for Obtaining Natural Dyes From Local Plants and Establishing the Production of Eco-Friendly Functional Silk Fabrics Using This Technology

. This article discusses the development of a technology for extracting natural dyes from locally available plant materials and establishing the production of eco-friendly functional silk fabrics using the resulting extracts. The study considers the potential use of dye-bearing raw materials such as pomegranate peels, walnut shells, onion skins, and madder roots. A technological sequence is proposed that includes raw-material preparation, grinding, aqueous extraction, filtration, standardisation of the dye solution, silk dyeing, and finishing. The possibilities of improving the colour properties of silk fabrics, imparting certain functional properties, and reducing the environmental impact of chemical treatment processes through the use of natural dyes are discussed.
