abstract = "Green tea aqueous extract was prepared and characterized regarding total flavonoids and total
phenolic contents as well as antioxidant activity (assessed by ABTS method). The characterized
aqueous extract was used for dyeing and functionalization of 100% cotton and cotton/linen
(47%/53% and 70%/30%) fabrics. Fabric color strength (K/S) values and their antioxidant
activities before and after washing were compared. The obtained results revealed that 100%
cotton (GTI), 47%/53% cotton/linen (GTII), and 70%/30% cotton/linen (GTIII) fabrics have
K/S values ranging between 8.33 and 10.85. After one washing cycle, these values decreased
significantly. On the other hand, dyed fabrics showed excellent (100 %) ABTS radical
scavenging ability which remained excellent (GTII) or decreased to medium (GTI and GTIII)
levels after one washing cycle. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that 47%/53%
cotton/linen fabric is the most suitable for functional clothing capable of trapping the free radial
of oxygen species. The current paper represents a step towards a more sustainable textile
industry that could undoubtedly contribute to overcoming the environmental problems caused
by the textile industry.",
