Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the antibacterial and moisture-management properties of waffle knitted fabric treated with Grona triflora extract. The Grona triflora plant extract was initially prepared using the ethanol solvent through the soxhlet apparatus. Further, the tuck waffle rib gaited fabric was coated in different concentrations over the fabric through a padding mangle and then dried. Subsequently, the plant extract-infused fabric samples were subjected to SEM FTIR analysis to assess the effectiveness of the coating. The treated fabric samples were assessed for antimicrobial activity and moisture management assessment. The highest level of antibacterial activity was observed in all treated fabrics. Among the samples, 30% (W/V) of Grona triflora extract-coated fabric has recorded the highest antimicrobial activity. Similarly, different moisture management indices were analyzed for all the treated samples, and the highest level was found in all the treated samples since their OMMC values were more than 0.6. The conclusion is that cloth treated with Grona triflora extract may find use as medical fabric.
