Surface Modification of Polyester Fabrics with Vinyltriethoxysilane
نویسنده
چکیده
Surface modification of polyester fabrics was studied aiming at improving the water repellency property. Vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) was employed as surface modifying agent. Prior to application, VTES was prepared in aqueous emulsion using cetyltrimethylammoniun bromide (CTAB) as an emulsifying agent. The application of VTES emulsion was carried out using a padder and followed by curing at 150C for 15 minutes. The result showed that the treated fabrics exhibited higher contact angle values when compared to untreated fabric, indicating an increase in water repellency property. It was believed that VTES was converted into silicone through siloxane network. The presence of a silicone particle on the fabric surface led to an increase in surface roughness, attributing to an increase in hydrophobicity of the treated fabric.
