In order to obtain stable superhydrophobicity, suitable hydrophobic treatment agents should be selected according to different material properties. In this paper, cotton and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabrics were respectively coated with dodecyl methacrylate (LMA) via argon combined capacitively coupled plasma (CCP), and the surface hydrophobicity and durability of the treated cotton and polyester fabrics are also discussed. An interesting phenomenon happened, whereby the LMA-coated cotton fabric (Cotton-g-LMA) had better water repelling and mechanical durability properties than LMA-coated PET fabric (PET-g-LMA), and LMA-coated hydroxyl-grafted PET fabrics (PET fabrics were successively coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and LMA, PET-g-PEG & LMA) had a similar performance to cotton fabrics. The water contact angles of Cotton-g-LMA, PET-g-LMA and PET-g-PEG & LMA were 156°, 153° and 155°, respectively, and after 45 washing cycles or 1000 rubbing cycles, the corresponding water contact angles decreased to 145°, 88°, 134° and 146°, 127° and 143°, respectively. Additionally, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polyamides-6 (PA6) fabrics all exhibited the same properties as the PET fabric. Therefore, the grafting of hydroxyl can improve the hydrophobic effect of LMA coating and the binding property between LMA and fabrics effectively, without changing the wearing comfort.

“…This result corroborates with the findings of Sivashani et al in 2014. 35 Abrasion resistance of textile substrates is a surface phenomenon that could be affected by both physical and chemical modifications imparted by a given treatment. In this study, the physical and chemical modifications to cotton nonwoven substrates were depicted by SEM and further substantiated by FTIR analyses, respectively.…”

The possibility of using atmospheric pressure plasma treatment (APT) without any additional functionalizing chemicals as an environmentally friendly technique for processing cotton nonwovens has been investigated. The quantitative determination of waxes suggested that APT results in the removal of waxes from cotton nonwovens and consequently increases its hydrophilicity. Fourier transform infrared studies showed that APT was capable of removing wax covering individual layers of cotton fibers. Intense plasma treatment causes a decrease in the strength of cotton nonwovens. Results show that APT can be a viable alternative for caustic soda treatment for dewaxing cotton.

“…4 Pilling not only causes an unattractive appearance and uncomfortable handle of the fabric, but also shortens the service life and the added value of textile products. 5 The formation of pills is a dynamic process of entanglement of fibers on the surface of the fabrics during wear or washing. As a result of abrasion, weaker cotton fibers are mostly broken and entangled by stronger polyester fibers to form pills.…”

This paper aims to numerically establish the effects of polyester fiber performance on the pilling of polyester–cotton woven fabrics, including pilling grades, overall energy absorption and the forms of energy absorption. Geometric models of fabric and hairiness are established using the Python programming language based on the length and density distribution of hairiness on the fabric surface. The finite element method is adopted to simulate the pilling process of polyester–cotton woven fabrics with different polyester fiber performance parameters. The simulated pilling grades of fabrics are fairly close to the practical pilling grades, whose relative error is 7.3%. With the increase of fiber diameter, pilling grades decrease. Increasing the fiber friction coefficient also affects pilling grades, which firstly decrease and then increase. Pilling grades reduce with the increased fiber elastic modulus. Friction dissipation energy during pilling becomes the dominant form of energy. When the fiber diameter is less than 14 μm, the fiber friction coefficient is between 0.3 and 0.4 and the fiber elastic modulus is greater than 4.55 GPa, fabrics start pilling.
