Abstract:
In recent years, terms like 'going green' and 'eco-friendly' have become buzz words on talk shows, commercials and product making. Likewise we have brought our product under the shadow of eco-friendly and disposable. Our main product is shoe insole for diabetic patients. The shoe insole holds the natural products such as bamboo and chitosan. Bamboo fibre being a biodegradable textile material has many antibacterial qualities. Above that chitosan has both anti-bacterial and antimicrobic performance inhibiting bacteria's growth. Bamboo fibre is converted into web using carding machine. The web obtained is fed for needle punching. The non-woven material is made to dry and taken out for testing. The specimen undergoes follows anti-bacterial test, wound pathogen test and the result gave good activity towards bacteria and organism like staphylococcus aureus, klebsiella and pseudomonas. Since it is a use and throw material, it need not have to support sufficient mechanical properties.
