The impact of nanotechnology on textile coloration—A mini‐review
Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 1, Page 26-51, February 2026.Abstract Coloration is a key feature in the textile industry that adds value to the final apparels. This coloration of textile products is done by conventional methods which involve huge amounts of water pollution and wastages of textile colourants. Several approaches have been taken to eliminate these issues by advanced dyeing methods, however, due to
