Abstract
This research deals with the investigating the effect of nanoparticles on the various properties of nanocomposite fabrics produced from melt spinning of various blend ratios of prepared masterbatch containing Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles. The results revealed that the wear properties of modified fabrics improved as compared to pure fabrics with a trend justified considering modulus or crystallinity of fabrics with opposite effects. About 40 % UV protection enhancement has been obtained applying this kind of nanoparticles in the close relationship with the crimp contraction of textured yarns. A considerable improvement in the garment comfort has been recorded for nanocomposite sample containing 1 wt% nanoparticles. The lower permeability at low environment temperature and a higher at higher one, as compared to the pure sample, were obtained using this sample. It is highly interesting that these desirable changes in permeability can be achieved in the range of common environment temperatures (15–35 °C) being adapted to the human body requirements. The changing point is about 25 °C exactly meeting the body requirements by changing environment temperatures. A UV-induced solid state nanocomposite interaction increasing wear properties of UV-irradiated nanocomposite fabrics has been discovered.
