Effect of silicone nano-emulsion softener on physical properties of cotton fabric
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of silicone nano-emulsion softener against silicone conventional emulsion softener on the physical properties of cotton fabric has been studied. It is observed that the nano-emulsion softener improves the feel, softness and crease recovery to a higher extent compared to the conventional emulsion softener. However, the nano form of emulsion causes higher loss in strength with increased elongation-at-break. The water absorbency of nano-emulsion treated fabric is found to be poorer than that of the conventional emulsion.

Improvement of Burning Properties on the Cotton/polyester/lacra Blend Fabric with Nano Silicone Material in Nano Silicone
In this research, we established a modified 45 flammability test for cotton blend material to measure the flammability of nanosilicone softener treated-cotton blend material. The wet pick-up was about 150±10%. b) The specimens were tested in the cross direction and nine specimens were measured. The average percent weight loss of the untreated cotton blend nonwoven is only 0.9%. The percent weig...
متن کاملEffect of nano TiO2 pretreatment on functional properties of cotton fabric
–In this study cotton fabric was pretreated with nano TiO2 (<100nm) particles by Pad-Dry-Cure technique. The deposition of nano particles on the fabric was observed by SEM and elementally analyzed by oxford –Inca software using SEM. The treated fabric was analyzed for the change in their physical, biological and functional properties compared to the untreated cotton fabric. Very encouraging res...

متن کاملHot Mercerizing of Cotton/Polyester Blend Fabric Effect of Alkali Treatment Temperature on Ttensile Properties , Weight Loss and Shrinkage of Fabric
The presence of defects in cold mercerizing of cotton goods led to the creation of a new method, called hot mercerizing in which caustic soda solution is used at a high temperature. Hot mercerizing is successfully used in cotton blended with some other fibers. In cotton/polyester blend fabrics, this treatment serves a dual purpose: subjectively, it imparts a silklike soft handle to the po...
