Stable superhydrophobic surfaces with water contact angles over 170 degrees and sliding angles below 7 degrees were produced by simply coating a particulate silica sol solution of co-hydrolysed TEOS/fluorinated alkyl silane with NH(3).H(2)O on various substrates, including textile fabrics (e.g. polyester, wool and cotton), electrospun nanofibre mats, filter papers, glass slides, and silicon waf...

The aim of this work was to analyze the influence stretch on liquid moisture transport through knitted fabrics for T-shirts. Five variants cotton and blended were measured by means Moisture Management Tester. Measurements have been performed samples in unstretched state stretched 15%. To precisely fabrics, MMT Stretch Fabric Fixture has applied. results analyzed statistically order assess param...

The dry rind of the pomegranate (Punica granatum) has been used as dye stuff since earlier times. In the present study the dye extracts were obtained from the rinds of the P. granatum and used for dyeing the cotton fabrics. The fabrics were assessed for antimicrobial, dyeability and fastness properties. The color strength (K/S) of dyed fabric was assessed through dyeability test. The antibacter...

1,2,3,4-Butane tetracarboxylic acid (BTCA)-treated cotton fabrics were immersed in alkali for increasing time periods and the effectiveness of alkali in removing the cross-linking agent was investigated by surface (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS) analysis, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and solubility in specific solvents. The cellulose yield after t...

To improve the laundering durability of the silver functionalized antibacterial cotton fabrics, a radiation-induced coincident reduction and graft polymerization is reported herein where a pomegranate-shaped silver nanoparticle aggregations up to 500 nm can be formed due to the coordination forces between amino group and silver and the wrapping procedure originated from the coincident growth of...

This paper focuses on effect of abrasion process on color and reflectance factor changes of dyed woven fabrics containing 100% acrylic chenille yarns in weft and cotton warp yarns. Three fabrics having 12, 14 and 16 weft per centimeter were dyed with three basic dyes in different hues. Four different abrasion levels, i.e. 50,200,400 and 650 were selected to abrade samples. The obtained results ...

In this work, graphene/Ag (GA/Ag) composite aerogels with the micro rough porous structure and conductive property polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) low surface energy were used to prepare super-hydrophobic cotton fabric (GA/Ag/PDMS@cotton) was successfully prepared. The morphologies, chemical composition, wettability, microwave absorption of GA/Ag/PDMS@cotton characterized. It shown that GA/Ag PDMS c...

In this study, 100% soybean and cotton suprem pique knitted fabrics were produced. Quality performance parameters, color fastness spectrophotometric results of the compared. The aim study is to reveal advantages weaknesses compared fabrics. When production test are examined, softer than Knitted protein fiber dimensional change worse cotton. Air permeability made from better therefore it can be ...

Cotton fabric is a comfortable clothing material to wear in tropical climates. In addition the comfort aspect, cotton cloth expected be able protect skin from dangers of sun exposure. This research was conducted with aim knowing optimum amount protection produced by cloth, determining type and color that most effectively used as protector, SPF (sun factor) value category based on cloth. study t...
