Functional finishes on textile fabrics: The potential of nanostructures of cellulose and lignin

Nanostructures have gained increasing attention for their ability to impart novel functionalities to materials, yet their application in sustainable textile finishing remains limited. The textile industry continues to face challenges in developing coatings that combine performance, durability, and environmental responsibility. In this context, renewable nanostructures such as nanocellulose and nanolignin represent promisimg alternatives for integrating bio-based materials into textile coatings while reducing dependence on fully synthetic agents. As a functional finishing approach for textile applications, this study coated cotton fabrics with cellulose and lignin nanostructures.
