Abstract
Eco-friendly sources of organic nanomaterials are distinguished by their nanoscale dimensions with unique properties such as enhanced biodegradability, less toxicity, and better performance in functional textiles. These biodegradable organic nanomaterials are under consideration as a result of the increasing demand for sustainable textiles and apparel. This review provides a thorough analysis of multifunctional organic materials that are eco-friendly. They are used in the manufacturing of protective clothing. These nanomaterials provide novel aspects that enable the manufacturing of biodegradable and sustainable textiles. They have positive impacts such as enhanced self-cleaning characteristics, antibacterial properties, and energy harvesting capabilities. This review also discusses green synthesis methods that minimize environmental impacts. The evaluations of integrating these materials into multifunctional textile manufacturing highlight the development of smart and functional textiles that react to environmental stimulation, which provides the wearer with extra advantages. It also discusses the economic and environmental benefits of using organic nanomaterials as raw materials. These benefits include less dependence on non-renewable inorganic resources, waste reduction from durable fabrics, and possible maintenance cost savings. The aim of this review is to give prominent concepts of organic nanomaterials to manufacturers and policymakers about the advantages and challenges by providing a comprehensive overview of the present situation and future potential applications of organic nanomaterials in multifunctional textiles.
