Comfort and Function: Current Trends in Cotton Finishing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cotton is traditionally the most important natural fibre in the apparel industry because of the comfortable wearing comfort and durability of cotton textiles. The chemical finishing of cotton aims to further improve the quality of the cotton fibre, either to overcome some disadvantages of the apparel or to establish additional desirable properties. This paper highlights some current trends in cotton finishing with the focus on anti-wrinkle (easy-care) and antimicrobial finishes.

Comfort aspects of finished polyester-cotton and polyester-viscose ring and MJS yarn fabrics
The influence of different experimental conditions on the thermal comfort behavior of polyester-viscose and polyester-cotton ring and MJS yarn fabrics has been studied. The results show that the yarn structure and the fibre cross-sectional shape have a large influence on improving the thermal comfort of woven fabrics. The fabrics made from MJS yarns perform better than those of the ring yarn fa...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Thermal Comfort Properties and Heat Protection Performance of Cotton/Nylon-Kermel Fabrics
In this research, fire and radiant heat protection and thermal comfort properties of cotton/nylon-Kermel blended woven fabrics, were utilized to predict the thermal comfort and protection limit of this fabric structure based on Woo and Barker developed model. The results showed that the porosity, the air permeability and the thermal resistance increased with Kermel fiber blend ratio. Conversely...
متن کاملDyeing of Cotton Fabric with Natural Dyes Improved by Mordants and Plasma Treatment
Nowadays, there is a great tendency for eco-dyeing and finishing of textiles with natural products. several natural dyes have been used for dyeing of protein fibers but a low number have the ability to dye cotton fiber because of low affinity of cellulose to the natural dyes. In this study madder and weld natural colorants were used to dye cotton fabric premordanted with three metallic salt...

This study examined the influence of variables in a finishing process for making cotton fabric with regenerable antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). 5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DMH) was coated onto cotton fabric by a pad-dry-plasma-cure method. Sodium hypochlorite was used for chlorinating the DMH coated fabric in order to introduce antibacterial properties. An orthogo...
متن کاملA study on the dyeing of sodium hydroxide treated polyester / cotton blend fabrics
The polyester (100%), cotton (100%) and Polyester / Cotton blend fabrics (65 / 35; 50 / 50 & 35 / 65) were treated with sodium hydroxide followed by hydrophilic finishing and dyeing to impart hygroscopic and dyeing characteristics. Then the finished fabric was tested for k/s value, fastness properties, wetting behaviour, water retention, wicking behaviour and static charge respectively. The sod...
