Sustainable use of renewable natural resources is a present day demand. To maintain a ecological balance in the environment, a study was conducted to extract fibre from the waste stem of okra plant and its utilization for making different utility products to fulfil day today needs. The physico-chemical properties such as microscopic structure, IR spectra, length and breadth of fibre, tensile strength, elongation and chemical constituents of bhindi fibre were evaluated. Six different types of products were made and these suitability was tested by a panel of judges and found that the functionality of the developed products were suitable for its intended purposeKeywords

The antibacterial materials such as fabrics, clothes are becoming important to avoid cross infection by pathogenic micro-organisms, especially bacteria such as Aureimonas altamirensis, Bacillus clausii and Micrococcus yunnanensis, to control the infestation by microbes, and to arrest metabolism in microbes in order to reduce the formation of odour. Textiles for medical and hygienic use have become important areas in the textile industry. Therefore, to reduce/prevent infections, various antibacterial compounds have been used for all types of textiles. The solutions of disinfectant used are generally active in vitro, but, it is also necessary to know the effectiveness of disinfecting cloths in conditions of use. In the current study, it was aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of fabrics functionalized with herbal extracts against Aureimonas altamirensis, Bacillus clausii and Micrococcus yunnanensis, and also after different wash cycles against these bacteria. The results of the present study showed that the most susceptible bacterium was B. clausii in all standard test methods for unwashed fabrics, antibacterial activity was continued even after washing cycles.Keywords
