“…The opposite holds true for tensile strength and elongation at break that is in full agreement with what would be anticipated. Previous reports [23][24][25] revealed that tensile strength stands as an inverse function of wrinkle recovery angle. At the same time, tensile strength values of the finished cotton fabrics in the presence of CNPs are higher than that finished in the absence of it, which noticeably reveals the outstanding effect of adding chitosan nanoparticles during durable press finishing of cotton textile as a reinforcing agent of cotton cellulose during the finishing process.…”

A NTIBACTERIAL and easy care characteristics were imparted to cotton fabrics using multifinishing formulation comprising citric acid (CA) and chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) as an eco-friendly finish. The latter of size around 60-100 nm were prepared through polymerization of meth acrylic acid (MAA) with chitosan using potassium permanganate as initiator and characterized using scanning electron microscope, transmittance electron microscope, Fourier transformer infrared spectroscopy, particle size analyzer, X-ray diffraction and thermo gravimetric analysis. Different factors affecting the degree of multifinishing treatment and their onset on fabric performance and antimicrobial activity were studied and optimized according to pad dry cure method. This was done to see the impact of chitosan nanoparticles to accomplish multifunction characteristics on cotton fabrics like reasonable strength loss, comparable wrinkle recovery angles, elongation at break, higher fabric stiffness and suitable durability in addition to antibacterial activity. It was seen from the attained results that; FTIR spectra and SEM micrograph showed the change in chemical structure and surface morphology of cotton fabric before and after finishing in absence and presence of chitosan nanoparticles. These fabrics parade antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria tested even after 10 washing cycles. Mechanism of finishing of cotton fabric using citric acid and CNPs is identified.

“…Our previously prepared SNPs of size around 80–100 nm after fully characterized using world class facilities that were prepared by nano precipitation technique followed by freeze-drying as reported in our previous work [9] were used throughout the work. Details of the conditions used for SNPs preparation, properties and characterization after freeze drying are shown in Table 1.…”

“…Nevertheless, more efficient cross-linking agents that can produce multi-functional properties to finished fabrics are still in demand. In addition, the currently reported cellulose cross-linking agents have some undesirable effects on strength properties and proposing a cross-linking agent with no diverse impact on treated fabrics is still a challenge [9]. For example, the strength properties of the cotton fabrics treated with cross-linking agents (chemical finish) are considerably reduced up to 60% as a result of this finishing process, which is considered as a major deficiency of cross-linking agents [10,11].…”

“…The low cost of this biopolymer, its biodegradability, nano-sized and price are the major reasons leading to the growing interest in the nonfood usage of starch-based products for applications in which the synthetic polymers have traditionally been the materials of choice [14]. The SNPs, for their properties qualitatively different from those of native starch granules, could be utilized in new applications like thickener or rheology modifier (in foods, paints, inks), adhesive or adhesive additives, a matrix material or filler in coating applications and biodegradable polymers, a carrier and slow-release agent in pharmacy, cosmetics and foods, for the delivery of pesticides, fertilizers and chemicals in agriculture, in paper-making and packaging industry [15] in addition to textile industry [9]. Incorporating the SNPs into the synthetic polymer matrix not only altered the physical properties, but also the biodegradability of the composite enhances [16,17].…”

To minimize the serious defects of durable press finishing of cellulosic textiles with respect to the great loss in strength properties, new pioneering strengthening approach of cotton fabric based on our previously prepared starch nanoparticles of size around 80–100 nm was used. For this purpose, cotton fabrics were treated with different concentrations of starch nanoparticles via coating technique using pad-dry-cure method, at which the starch nanoparticles are attached to the fabrics with the use of a padder adjusted to appropriate pressure and speed, followed by drying and curing. Fabric stiffness, surface roughness, tensile strength, elongation at break, abrasion resistance, wrinkle recovery angles, add-on %, and degree of whiteness as well as durability of treated fabrics were fully explored. SEM was used for detecting the change in surface morphology of reinforced coated fabric. The results obtained reflect the following findings: (a) all fabric performance like tensile strength, stiffness, wrinkle recovery angle, abrasion resistance and add on % were improved for coated fabrics with starch nanoparticles in comparison with untreated fabric, except that of surface roughness; (b) SEM confirmed the change in surface morphology of cotton fabric after reinforcement treatment using starch nanoparticles; (c) the dry wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength of cotton fabrics treated in presence of 30 g/l starch nanoparticles are slightly decreased after 10 washing cycles as compared with untreated fabric; and (d) starch nanoparticles introduce an advance in textile finishing with respect to the above-mention fabric performance except that of surface roughness.

“…Citric acid is safe in process and use and can be applied easily and economically on textile fabrics. It is one of the poly carboxylic acids which have been used as a substitution for formaldehyde releasing conventional N-methylol compounds especially in durable press finishing processes to impart ease and care characteristics especially for wrinkle resistance in presence of sodium hypophosphite as a potential catalyst for ester crosslinking (Mostafa et al , 2019; Morsy et al , 2019; Welch and Kottes Andrews, 1989; Choi et al , 1993; Schramm et al , 2002). However, there are a limited reports about the possibility of imparting desirable anti-bacterial activity, ease and care and reinforcement functionalities to the viscose fabric using a proper an echo-friendly finishing technique (Mostafa et al , 2019; Morsy et al , 2019; Mostafa et al , 2020; Mostafa and El-Sanabary, 2020; Roy Choudhury, 2017; Ibrahim et al , 2018).…”

Purpose This study aims to use multi-functional viscose fabric that was facilely developed with with respect to ease and care characteristics, reinforcement effect and antibacterial activity by using novel echo friendly antibacterial finish based on citric acid/sodium hypophosphite and the authors’ previously tailor-made poly meth acrylic acid (MAA)-chitosan graft copolymer via alternative microwave curing approach instead of traditional high-temperature cure one. Design/methodology/approach Viscose fabric was paddled twice in the cross-linking formulations containing different concentrations of citric acid, poly (MAA)-chitosan graft copolymer and sodium hypophosphite to 90 % wet pick up and dried at 100°C for 3 min in an electric oven. Then, the treated fabrics were placed on the disk spinner of the microwave oven and cured at different power (100–800 Watt) for various durations (60–180 s). The fabric was then water-rinsed and dried at ambient condition before use. Findings Results revealed that the above echo friendly method for finished viscose fabrics was found to achieve relatively high dry wrinkle recovery angle and maintain the loss in tensile strength within the acceptable range, as well as antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus as a gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, respectively; in addition to durability up to ten washing cycles. Furthermore, scanning electron microscope images, nitrogen content and add on % of the finished fabric confirmed the penetration of grafted chitosan inside the fabric structure. The tentative mechanism for these reactions is advocated. Originality/value The novelty addressed here is undertaken with the advantages of using citric acid as a nonformaldehyde, safe and cheap poly carboxylic acid as a crosslinking agent and sodium hypophosphite as a potential catalyst, in addition to the authors’ noncitable multifunctional echo friendly tailor-made poly (MAA)-chitosan graft copolymer for imparting reinforcement and antibacterial characteristics to viscose fabric that uses the pad-dry/cure microwave fixation for progressively persuaded heat within the fabric during curing. Research limitations/implications This was done to see the impact of microwave as green and efficient tool with respect to reduction in organic solvents, chemicals and exposer time as well as fixation temperature on the finishing reaction in comparison with traditional pad-dry-cure method. Practical implications Poly (MAA)-chitosan graft copolymer as amphoteric biopolymer was expected to impart multifunctional properties to viscose fabrics especially with comparable dry wrinkle recovery angle and minimize the loss in tensile strength in addition to antibacterial properties in comparison with untreated one.
