Purchasing Decisions

Cotton fabrics are among the most preferred fabrics for both underwear and outerwear. The sensory comfort properties of the fabrics are important for consumers’ choice of clothing. The majority of consumers visually like the clothes that they buy and try to feel these features sensually by touching them, and then, they may want to try the garment or they can make direct purchasing decisions according to these tactile feelings. In this study, the sensorial properties of a double-layered cotton fabric developed for use as a garment were compared and evaluated with cotton plain woven and interlock fabrics currently used in the market for this purpose. Sensorial comfort properties of the fabrics were researched with KES-F Kawabata equipment.

This study establishes an eco-friendly anti-wrinkle treating process for cotton fabric. Sodium hydroxide-liquid ammonia pretreatment followed by 6% (w/w) PU100 adding citric acid pad-cure-dry finishing. In this process, citric acid (CA) was used as the fundamental crosslinking agent during finishing because it is a non-formaldehyde based, cost-effective and well wrinkle resistance agent. Environmental-friendly waterborne polyurethane (WPU) was used as an additive to add to the CA finishing solution. Six commercial WPUs were systematically investigated. Fabric properties like wrinkle resistance, tensile strength retention, whiteness, durable press, softness, and wettability were well investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction spectra were also measured and discussed before and after adding waterborne polyurethane. Tentative mechanism of the interaction among the WPU, CA, and modified cotton fabrics is provided. The effect of cotton fabric pretreatment on fabric performance was also investigated. After the eco-process’s treatment, the fabric wrinkle resistant angle was upgraded to 271 ± 7°, tensile strength retention was maintained at 66.77% ± 3.50% and CIE whiteness was elevated to 52.13 ± 3.21, which are much better than the traditional CA anti-wrinkle finishing based on mercerized cotton fabrics. This study provides useful information for textile researchers and engineers.

Cotton fabric with excellent antibacterial properties was obtained by treated with polyamide-amine (PAMAM) dendrimers as a carrier and silver nitrate as an antibacterial agent. The antibacterial cotton fabrics were prepared by the methods of one-bath process and two-bath process. Antibacterial activity of cotton fabrics treated by two different methods was good, but the antibacterial durability of cotton fabric treated with two-bath process was better than that treated with one-bath process. After 50 washing cycles, cotton fabric treated with two-bath process still had good antibacterial property and its inhibitory rate to Gram-positive S. aureus and Gram-negative E. coli was over 99 %. It was found that the breaking strength retention of finished cotton fabrics was 85.83 % and the decrease of cotton fabrics’ whiteness index was about 15 %.

The auxiliary devices of ultrasonic treatment was designed and manufactured. The cotton fabric was desized using 2000L desizing enzyme with the conventional enzyme desizing process and ultrasonic enzyme desizing process respectively. Through the orthogonal experiment, the optimum process conditions of conventional enzyme desizing process and ultrasonic enzyme desizing process were determined. For the conventional enzyme desizing process, the optimized desizing conditions of cotton fabrics were: desizing enzyme dosage was 1.5g/l, temperature was 80°C, PH value was 6, and time was 60mins. The optimum process conditions of ultrasonic enzyme desizing process were: desizing enzyme dosage was 1.5g/l, temperature was 50°C, PH value was 6 and time was 45minutes. The research result indicates that, under the same desizing condition, ultrasonication can improve the desizing percentage and whiteness of cotton fabric, but the fabric strength loss increases slightly. And for the same required desizing percentage, the ultrasonic enzyme desizing process saved time and reduced the temperature of experiments compared with traditional enzyme desizing process

Fabric Comfort

The smart control of cotton fabric comfort by cross-linking thermo-responsive random copolymer is investigated. The monomers 2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethoxyethyl methacrylate (MEO2MA) and ethylene glycol methacrylate (EGMA) with a molar ratio of 17:3 are selected to synthesize the thermo-responsive random copolymer poly(2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethoxyethyl methacrylate- co-ethylene glycol methacrylate), abbreviated as P(MEO2MA- co-EGMA). By using citric acid as a cross-linking agent, the obtained P(MEO2MA- co-EGMA) is successfully immobilized onto cotton fabrics. Smart control is achieved from the thermo-responsive behavior of the copolymer. Cross-linked P(MEO2MA- co-EGMA) will collapse when the ambient temperature exceeds its transition temperature. Therefore, the formerly compact P(MEO2MA- co-EGMA) layer will switch to a porous structure, and the air/moisture permeability of the textiles is enhanced. As the comfort of the textiles is closely related to the air/moisture permeability, a smart control of the cotton fabric comfort can be realized. In addition, the softness of cotton fabrics with and without thermo-responsive polymers does not show a prominent change, even when the applied solution concentration is as high as 16% (wt%). On the contrary, the stiffness of the cotton fabric coated with poly( N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) is significantly higher than the original cotton fabric, indicating that homo PNIPAM is less suitable for textiles used in daily lives. Moreover, the whiteness and mechanical properties are studied and stay unchanged after cross-linking. As a consequence, the introduction of P(MEO2MA- co-EGMA) into textiles can provide textiles with smart control of cotton comfort, and it will not influence the wearabilities of the textiles.

This paper reports a hollow copolyester fiber modified with polyethylene glycol and sodium-5-sulfo-bis-(hydroxyethyl)-isophthalate, abbreviated as ECDP-H, which has the potential to be a replacement for cotton. The objective evaluation of luster (contrast glossiness) and Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics (KES-F) (four Primary Hand Parameters and the Total Hand) of ECDP-H, PET and cotton fabrics are studied in order to investigate the cotton-like appearance of the ECDP-H. The results of moisture regain and dynamic moisture absorption values obtained indicate that the hydrophilicity of the ECDP-H fabric is better than that of PET fabric. The thermo-physiological performance for three fabrics is determined using air and water vapor permeability, wicking, warm-cooling feeling, thermal resistance and vapor resistance. The results show that the ECDP-H fabric has better hand and comfort properties than cotton.

As far as the value addition of textile is concerned, flame retardancy of textile materials is considered to be one of the most important properties in textile finishing by both industries as well as academic researchers. Flame-retardant property with thermal stability was imparted to cotton by using green coconut ( Cocos nucifera Linn) shell extract, a natural waste source of coconut. Coconut shell extract was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive spectrometry and its phytochemical analysis was also carried out. The coconut shell extract (acidic after extraction) was applied in three different pH (acidic, neutral, and alkaline) conditions to the cotton fabric. Flame-retardant properties of the untreated and the treated cotton fabrics were analyzed by limiting oxygen index and vertical flammability. The study showed that all the treated fabrics had good flame resistance property compared to that of the untreated fabric. The limiting oxygen index value was found to increase by 72.2% after application of the coconut shell extract from alkaline pH. Pyrolysis and char formation behavior of the concerned fabrics were studied using thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetric analysis in a nitrogen atmosphere. The physicochemical composition of the untreated and coconut shell extract treated cotton fabrics were analyzed by attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscope, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Also, treated cotton fabric showed natural brown color and antibacterial property against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The durability of the flame-retardant functionality to washing with soap solution has also been studied and reported in this paper.

The objective of this paper is the synthesis of some nanometal oxides via microwave irradiation technique and their application to augment multifunctional properties of cotton fabric. Cotton fabrics containing nanometal oxides were prepared via a thiol-modification of cotton fabric samples and then dipped into the metal salt solutions precursors and transferred to the microwave oven. The surface morphology and quantitative analysis of the obtained modified cotton fabrics containing nanometal oxides were studied by scanning electron microscopy coupled with high energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX). The shape and distribution of nanometal oxide inside the fabric samples were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy of cross-section fabric samples. The iron oxide nanoparticles had a nanosphere with particle size diameter 15–20 nm, copper oxide nanoparticles had a nanosphere with particle size diameter 25–30 nm, and cobalt oxide nanoparticles had a nanotube-like shape with a length of 100–150 nanometer and a diameter of ~58 nanometer, whereas the manganese oxide nanoparticles had a linear structure forming nanorods with a diameter of 50–55 nanometer and a length of 70–80 nanometers. Antibacterial activity was evaluated quantitatively against gram-positive bacteria such asStaphylococcus aureusand gram-negative bacteria such asEscherichia coli, UV-protection activity was analyzed using UV-DRS spectroscopy, and flame retardation of prepared fabric samples was evaluated according to the limiting oxygen index (LOI). Results revealed that the prepared fabric sample containing nanometal oxide possesses improved antibacterial, LOI, and UV-absorbing efficiency. Moreover, the metal oxide nanoparticles did not leach out the fabrics by washing even after 30 laundering washing cycles.

Chitin dan chitosan adalah bahan “chelate” yang sangat kuat untuk ion transisi logam terutama tembaga, nikel dan merkuri, dan sifat-sifat ini yang akan intensif di bahas. Pada studi ini kain kapas (cotton) dikerjakan dengan larutan chitosan-asam polikarboksilat untuk memperoleh kain kapas-chitosan yang mengandung gugus group karboksilat (-COOH) dan gugus amina (-NH2) fungsional. Penggunaan asam polykarboksilat (asam sitrat dan maleik) pada pelarutan chitosan menghasilkan group karboksil 0,5 meqs/g pada kain yang dicelup dengan larutan chitosan asam karboksilat. Kemudian kain kapas yang telah mengandung gugus karboksilat dan gugus amina ini dicelupkan pada larutan garam logam (garam tembaga dan seng). Terbukti bahwa larutan garam tembaga (copper) memberikan warna biru pada kain, hal ini mengindikasikan telah terjadi reaksi kompleks atau “Chelate”. Implikasi dari hasil ini maka diperkirakan kandungan group karboksil dan amina ini akan mempengaruhi pada pencelupan kain, namun hal ini tidak diuji.Kata kunci : Chitosan, Kain Kapas, Chelate, Asam asetat, Asam citrate, Asam maleik, Tembaga sulphate, Tembaga acetate.AbstractChitin and chitosan are powerfull chelating agents for transition metal ions, particularly copper, nickel and mercury, and these properties have been extensively reviewed. In this study, cotton fabric has been treated with chitosan- polycarboxylic acid solution to form chitosan treated cotton fabric containing carboxyl (-COOH) and amine (-NH2) functional groups. The use of polycarboxylic acids (citric and maleic acids) to dissolve chitosan has given carboxyl groups 0.5 meqs/g into chitosan treated cotton fabrics. Instead, the complexing of the treated cotton samples with copper and zinc salts was examined. The copper salt solutions gave blue fabrics confirming easily that complexing or chelation had occurred. There are implications for dyeing cotton making use of these groups but this was not investigated.Keyword : Chitosan, Cotton fabric, Chelation, Acetic acid, Citric acid, Maleic acid, Copper (II) sulphate, Copper (II) acetate.
