INVESTIGATION OF ANTI-PILLING PROPERTIES OF DIFFERENT FABRICS APPLIED WITH POLYVINYLCAPROLACTAM

Pilling is one of the most important problems in textile industry still not confidently solved. The problem a kind mechanically caused fabric defect consisting by series roughly spherical masses entangled fibers called pills. Many studies have been carried out to define this detail, determine pilling intensity different methods and improve grades fabrics. One beneficial values chemical finishing applying specific polymers. In study, synthesized anti-pilling polymer was used for padding method. A based on polyvinylcaprolactam (PVCL) applied has characterized with FT-IR, NMR, DSC, elemental analysis devices also optimize application-parameters. Especially blended fabrics natural synthetic staple fibres are often worser then other non fabrics, PVCL selection polyester cotton blends or viscose blend, which between 2-3. PVCL-Polymer applications were using these 7 As result, approximately 1.5-2 degree improvement achieved. Anti-pilling polymers decrease hydrophilicity worsen touch. However, PVCL-polymer does lead loss smooth hand neighter On contrary, it improves both touch causing yellowing. PCVL distinguished from products industry.
