Developing Nano-Functionalized Breathable and Hydrophobic Viscose/ Polyester Fabrics

The purpose of this study was continuous nano-functionalization procedure on viscose/ polyester fabrics andinvestigating its wetting and comfort properties. An as-prepared TiO2 nano-colloidal solution was applied onto fabricsvia a continuous pad-dry process. Then samples were subjected to an after-treatment for stabilizing nanostructures on thefabric surfaces. The results showed an enhancement of water droplet absorption time on treated sample as compared tountreated fabrics confirming increasing the hydrophobicity of treated samples. According to the results, the airpermeability were also increased by the treatment on the Viscose/ polyester fabrics.
