Effect of Special Finishes on the Functional Properties of Cotton Fabrics

Abstract

This study demonstrated that the changes in functional properties of both woven and knit cotton fabrics were determined to evaluate the performance of different special finishes. Here, 100% cotton fabrics were treated with different types of finishing chemicals at different formulations. To assess the performance of different finishes on fabric properties, GSM, bursting strength, tensile strength, dimensional stability, absorbency, crease recovery angle with ASTM and AATCC methods were done. The results showed that the functional properties of the finished cotton fabrics both woven and knit depend to a great extent on the type of finish.

“…On the other hand, micro silicone emulsion provides sufficient wet rubbing, soft handle, acceptable shade change, increased colour yield and good absorbency to both colored fabrics. Chowdhury (2018) [26], the study demonstrated that the changes in functional properties of both woven and knit cotton fabrics were determined to evaluate the performance of different special finishes. He used100% cotton fabrics treated with different types of finishing chemicals at various formulations.…”

Studying the influence of uv adsorbers on optical characteristics of light-protective polymer films for textile materials

“…Application of a polymeric composition on the surface of a textile material with inclusion of substances having diverse functional purposes (antibacterial, fire retardant, water repelling, etc.) in composition of substances is a universal way to provide the textile materials with required special properties [4,5]. To this end, wide use of styrene-acrylic polymers forming the base of compositions due to high optical, physical and mechanical properties is known [6,7].…”
