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.

A 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...
