Silk Fabric Treatment By Polyacrylic Acid And Chitosan

ABSTRACT

Silk is considered as one of the finest and delicate natural fibers suitable for the construction of textile products with elegant look, lustrous appearance, gorgeous glaze, and elegant drapeness likewise with rich quality. However, silk is sensitive for various chemicals so that it could be easily damaged. Hence, it is evident that silk should be protected so as to accommodate the necessary characteristics in the end use products. In this context, in this research work plain woven mulberry silk fabric was chosen which was further processed with basic treatments and treated with polyacrylic acid and chitosan and then dyed with some selected natural sources and reactive dye. The treated and dyed silk fabrics were then subjected for different testing parameters such as measuring physical properties, K/S values, fastness properties, absorbency characteristics, antiodor behavior, SEM, and XRD analysis. The results obtained from this study convince the suitability for the conventional garment/apparel end-use products including the medical textiles.

摘要

丝绸被认为是最精细的天然纤维之一,适合纺织产品的结构,具有优雅的外观、光泽的外观、华丽的釉面和优雅的悬垂性,同样具有丰富的质量. 然而,丝绸对各种化学物质很敏感,因此很容易损坏. 因此,很明显,应保护丝绸,以适应最终用途产品的必要特性. 在此背景下,本研究选取了桑蚕丝平纹织物,对其进行了进一步的基础处理,并用聚丙烯酸和壳聚糖处理,然后用一些选定的天然来源和活性染料进行染色. 然后对处理后的和染色后的真丝织物进行不同的测试参数,如物理性能、K/S值、牢度、吸收特性、防臭性能、SEM和XRD分析. 本研究的结果证明了传统服装/服装最终用途产品(包括医用纺织品)的适用性.
