“…This suggests that the fragments on the fiber surface shown in Figure (b,c) are caused by the damage of the PU coating. The fiber damages shown in Figure (e,f) are agreeable with previous work, which demonstrated that the fiber damage by abrasion has a harm sequence of deformation and rupture. This hypothesis obtained further evidences based on WCA measurements and ATR‐IR spectra.…”

Cotton fabric was successfully modified using a simple mist polymerization with polyurethane (PU) prepolymer and ethylene glycol as the monomers. Scanning electron microscope showed the presence of a very thin polymer coating on the cotton fiber surface. Martindale abrasion tests revealed that the thin PU coating imparted to the cotton fabric a doubled wearing durability compared with the original fabric. Additional experiments demonstrated that the mist polymerization has little impact on the desired cotton properties such as water absorptivity, vapor transmissibility, mechanical property, and flexibility. Considering the excellent balance between the enhanced abrasion resistance and the cotton natures, this surface modification methodology has potential to fabricate wearing durable textiles.

“…Studies have also been reported on wear and damage in modern textiles using a differential staining technique in light microscopy 20 and scanning electron microscopy. 21,22 However, these studies are focused mainly on the fiber fracture patterns. More systematic study on the changes in the physicomechanical, morphology, and functional properties associated with the decay of the coated fabrics in various bioexposures, e.g., soil burial, aerial exposure, and standard culture media is lacking.…”

Biodegradation characteristics of nylon fabric coated with fluorocarbon polymer (oil and water repellent) and thiourea-formaldehyde (fire retardant) were studied. The fabric was exposed to soil burial, air exposure, and standard culture media for various intervals of time and evaluated for changes in physicomechanical properties, oil and water repellency, air permeability, as well as flame-retardant properties. Significant falls in these properties were observed, the extent of which was found to be maximum in the case of soil burial followed by air medium and standard culture. Themogravimetric analysis showed enhanced heat stability of the unexposed fabric compared with base nylon. Exposure of the coated fabric to various biomedia caused extensive damage of the fire retardant material and also resulted in a significant reduction in the flame-resistant properties. Fluorocarbon material, on the other hand, did not degrade on bioexposure and its presence improved the thermal stability of the coated fabric. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed remarkable changes, e.g., peak shifts, intensity variations, as well as elimination of peaks in the case of soil burial compared with the unexposed sample. Scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the changes in the surface topography associated with the degradation of the coated fabric vis-à -vis those of the controlled one.
