Abstract: Due to the growing demand for self-health and safety, eco-friendly health textile products with natural colors and pharmacological functionalities have gained considerable popularity. Rapid adsorption and controlled release of active molecules are important issues for functional health textiles. In this study, a functionalized chitosan-based hydrogel composite silk fabric was prepared using chitosan, 3-carboxyphenylboronic acid, and 3-(2, 3-epoxypropyl oxygen) propyl silane by dip-pad and vacuum freeze-drying techniques. The results showed that the incorporation of chitosan/phenylboronic/SiO2 hydrogel into silk fibers improved the UV protection capacity, mechanical properties, and adsorption properties of silk fabrics. The effects of various parameters on the luteolin adsorption properties of silk fabrics were discussed, including metal salt types, salt dosage, pH value, dyeing temperature, initial luteolin concentration, and dyeing time. Under the dyeing temperature of 60 °C and pH of 6.8, the luteolin exhaustion of the composite silk was more than that of the untreated silk, and the adsorption process followed the quasi-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Furthermore, the luteolin-dyed composite silk materials exhibited strong antioxidant activity and controllable release behavior with various pH levels. The as-prepared chitosan-hydrogel composite silk could be a promising material for the sustained release of drugs in medical and healthcare textiles.
