Innovative approaches in contemporary textile and fashion design boron mineral

Although our country has approximately 73% of the world's reserves, Turkey exports its boron as a raw mineral, which is sold at cheap prices and reduces the required profit from the boron market by half. In order to increase the profit share of Turkey in the boron market, it is necessary to turn to processed boron products with much higher added value, to increase their production capacity, to increase their usage areas and product diversity. With a significant share in the export of our country, the usage of boron in the textile industry is very limited. Boron is used in limited areas other than certain industrial branches in our country. It is necessary to encourage the use of the boron in potential sectors such as the textile industry,to involve university-industry cooperation, and to seek new technology and production through R&D activities. In this article, the properties, usage areas, and place of boron in the world boron market were examined, where our country has 3/2 boron reserves in the world and it is considered to be a kind of national treasure. In this research, applications of boron-doped nanocomposite material were conducted in a laboratory environment onto a 100% cotton fabric.
