摘要

Mosquito-transmitted illnesses, such as dengue, chikungunya, and malaria, pose a great threat and curse to human lives in this modern globalized world. Mosquito-repellent textile, a part of protective clothing made from natural plant sources, is a good alternative to chemical repellents and is an environmentally friendly solution. This study focused on developing and analyzing the properties of a sustainable mosquito-repellent finished cellulosic linen fabric using alcoholic peppermint, cinnamon, garlic extract (PCGE), and mango bark mordant. Extracted solutions in different concentration percentages (10, 20, and 30) were applied to the fabric by exhaustion dyeing following a post-mordanting process. Following a modified cage test, the highest 89.33% and 98.68%, and lowest 85.36% and 94.68% repellency were found for samples A and C, respectively. Also, the highest mortality rate for sample C was found at 80% after 24 h of the experiment. The finished fabrics retained a significant mosquito mortality rate (65%) even after 7 washing cycles. following the WHO (World Health Organization) cone bioassay test. In addition, a comprehensive evaluation of wash durability, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), extracted solutions absorbance, ultraviolet protection factor (UPF), physical and color fastness properties, allergic reaction, and shelf-life was performed. This study presents a novel approach of combining multiple natural plant-sourced ingredients that repel mosquitoes with durability, provide ultraviolet (UV) protection, and are non-allergenic. The goal of this study follows the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 (Sustainable Production) and 13 (Climate Action), by developing an applicable and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic chemical-based repellents.
