Application of Nano-ZnO on Antistatic Finishing to the Polyester Fabric

Abstract

Settlement experiment was employed to estimate the dispersion of nano-ZnO in aqueous solution, which was surface modified with different surfactants, through the deposition time. And suitable surfactant was selected to improve the dispersion effect. Antistatic finishing agent, which was compounded with nano-ZnO, was applied to polyester fabric by pad-dry-cure process and the optimal processing conditions were obtained by orthogonal test: the concentration of finishing agent was 1.0%, soaking time was 5 min, curing temperature and time were 180°C and 3 min respectively. By the static test, the results showed that the antistatic property of the treated fabric was better.
