Maleic acid (MA) has been explored to replace formaldehyde-based dimethylol dihydroxy ethylene urea (DMDHEU) for cotton anti-crease finishing. However, the resilience of treated fabrics was not satisfactorily improved. In this study, acryloyl malic acid (AMA) was synthesized and applied on fabrics as a novel crosslinking agent. The results showed that both crease recovery angle and whiteness in...

This work deals with the use of hydrotalcite nanoparticle post-diffusion in layer by layer (LbL) coatings with the aim of improving their flame retardant action on cotton. The selected LbL components, which encompass polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride and deoxyribonucleic acid, aim at the deposition of an intumescent coating. Infrared spectra pointed out a super-linear growth of the investiga...

Determination of residual natural waxes and processing lubricants on yarns and fabrics has traditionally been accomplished by Soxhlet extraction with an organic solvent. A variety of concerns about these solvents has driven a search for alternative methods. Hydrocarbon solvents; e.g., petroleum ether, are flammable and the manufacture of chlorofluorocarbon solvents was phased out in 1996 as a r...

Though an important and chronic source of dyes released to the environment, determination release that occurs during household or industrial washing is usually disregarded. The main scope this study reveal extent dye through washing, understand if modification cotton fabrics with cationic polymers could reduce it. Modified fabrics, dyed Acid Blue 281 (AB) by a mixture reactive Novacron Yellow S...

In this study, the different effects of weave structure on comfort properties fabrics and mechanical fiber-reinforced composites were investigated. Fabrics developed using one type material (flax spun yarn) in warp direction three materials (flax, sisal cotton weft directions. Four types weaves (plain, twill, matt mock leno) produced each material. Twelve specimens a sample weaving machine. The...

Underlying fabrics can change the appearance, function and quality of the garment, and also add so much longevity of the garment. Nowadays, with the increasing use of various types of fabrics in the garment industry, their resistance to bagging is of great importance with the aim of determining the effectiveness of textiles under various forces. The current paper investigated the effect of unde...

Drawing upon reflectance behavior of woodland colors involving dark brown in the UV-Vis-IR bands, two colored pigments were used to print cotton/polyester Co/PET goods. Inorganic nanoparticles of TiO2, ZnO and AL2O3 were also loaded onto the printing formulation. The reflectance profile of treated samples was studied using Jasco V-670 reflectance spectrophotometer. SEM analysis of printed fabri...

The textile and apparel production consumption generate a huge amount of solid waste. Mechanical recycling is one main method to recycle cotton waste; however, shredding in mechanical shortens fiber length reduces quality. As result, the application mechanically recycled textiles may be limited. This research investigated methods post-consumer waste designed developed second-life products. stud...

Polycarboxylic acids are used as crosslinking agents with sodium hypophosphite which do not contain formaldehyde. In this study, breaking strength, elongation and tear strength of cotton(twill weave)fabric samples were determined by using twill fabrics, six different coating recipes, produced 100% cotton yarns. The results testing compared according to the fabric structure, recipes crosslinker ...
