دراسة إمكانية تحسين الخواص الوظيفية لأقمشة الملابس العسكرية باستخدام التجهيزات متعددة الأغراض

الملخص EN

The research aims to achieve the best functional properties of military garment fabrics treated with nanocomposites, as the research dealt with the use of nanocomposites (titanium dioxide, stearic acid).

nanotechnology gets attention and anticipation from those who are working in the industry of smart textile and garments, this is due to the exceptional and unique properties that these materials shows compared to the materials of bigger sizes.

nanomaterials are distinguished by their physical, chemical and biological properties that are unprecedented because of extremely small size.

functional finishing of textile fabrics with nanoparticles imparts the fabrics one or more functional properties.

these functions include, for example, self-cleaning, antimicrobial, uv-protective, water repellence as well as antimicrobial activity.

the importance of the research appears in determining the most appropriate standards for those fabrics regarding the most appropriate fabric composition, and the most appropriate treatment used under the research, and the impact of treatment on the overall quality of the fabrics under research, and their suitability for functional performance.

suitable fabrics were produced for this purpose with various variations, as the specifications of the warp threads were constant for all the fabrics produced under the research, and which are of 100% cotton thread and the number of picks per one inch is 105 picks / inch, and the weft thread count is 150 denier (cotton blend / polyamide).

the type of texture (plain extended from weft 2 / 2, broken twill 2 / 2, atlas 4), the treated fabrics were monitored for contact angle, UPF value tensile strength, wrinkle recovery angle, and then the laboratory results were analyzed for the tested properties of the samples using applied statistics to find the different relationships between the research variables.

the results indicate that the fabric of the texture of atlas 4 treated with nano-titanium dioxide in presence of stearic acid has the most promising results for quality evaluation compared with other investigated fabrics produced under the research.
