Abstract

Sportswear is one of the fastest-growing industrial sectors. Recently, it has witnessed remarkable developments, whether in the process of spinning and weaving or the processing processes to give it specific properties. From this standpoint, the researcher extracted solutions of some natural extracts from orange peels and hazelnuts that are suitable for treating the “cotton tricot” material using the “dyeing” method. The treatment was carried out using different concentrations. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences at
α
< 0.05) in favor of treatment with the solution extracted from orange peel (10% concentration) in increasing the thickness of the material compared to two concentrations (20%, 30%) of the same solution, and in favor of the solution extracted from hazelnut peel (concentration 10%) in increasing the thickness of the material. (20%, 30%) and in favor of treatment at a concentration of (3%) with nanosilver with the same properties. The results were also statistically significant in the “air permeability” property in favor of treatment with orange peel extract (30% concentration) compared to two concentrations (10%, 20%) and with a higher average than hazelnut peel at the same concentration, and in favor of treatment with nanosilver concentration (3%). The results also showed significant statistical differences in favor of treatment with solutions of orange peel, hazelnut peel, and nanosilver (30%, 30%, 3%) on bacterial resistance compared to the rest of the concentrations used in the study of the exact solutions
