Wrinkle-resistant finish of foam technology for cotton fabric

Abstract

The cotton fabrics with the character of anti-crease were obtained by introducing foam technology. It is observed from experimental results that cross-linking agent, curing temperature and curing time all have significant effects on the wrinkle recovery angle and the mechanical property of fabrics. In addition, foam ratio plays an important role in the process of one-side finished fabric. We found that in the case of same weight gain of cross-linking agent, wrinkle recovery angle of foam technology is bigger than that of conventional finish, while the strength loss of foam finish is smaller as compared to conventional finish. © The Author(s) 2013 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nave.
