Abstract
To move towards green products is the demand raising globally in all fields of life day by day. Particularly in the area of textile industry, eco-friendly products are either used as starting material or as finishing agents now a days. In textile, the role of biopolymers such as wheat starch, Arabic gum, chitosan, soybean, etc., are being used to enhance the performance properties of textiles. These biopolymers are either extracted from natural resources or synthesized using eco-friendly materials are used to make such products which are employed for different purposes such as in this chapter, will discuss its characteristics, synthesis or extraction, and application of each biopolymer and their performance for various fields such as textile, medical, sports, food and flavors, cosmetics, etc., will be explained. It is expected the main objective of this chapter will be helpful for students, researchers, and industrialists who want to introduce biopolymers for improving their product quality. It can possess inherent moisture management capabilities and enhance wearer comfort. Biopolymers can be processed into fibers, films, and coatings, providing versatility in textile design.
