Abstract

This research reports the results of a work intended to increase the attributes regarding moisture management of acrylic–cotton-blended single jersey fabrics. In a single-step exhaust method, the blended fabric is treated with 60% calcium chloride-based desiccant at 60 °C for 1 h. The multidirectional liquid transport behavior of treated fabric through properties such as time for wetting, rate of absorbing moisture, maximum radius of wetted area, speed of spreading the test liquid, moisture transport index, and total moisture management capacity is analyzed. The experimental results exhibit improvement in the moisture management property of the treated fabrics from 0 to 0.75. The wettability of the fabric is also enhanced as the water contact angle has reduced from 108.37° to 66.45° after the treatment. Treated samples transport the test liquid across the fabric much more quickly than untreated samples due to fabric–desiccant interaction through a strong hydrogen bond. This is characterized by an FTIR peak at 2341 cm⁻¹ which gets reduced after treatment. The impact of desiccant treatment on physical properties such as color strength, fabric thickness and weight was also analyzed. The desiccant treatment shows durability up to five wash cycles equivalent to 25 home laundering cycles, dictating a great prospect of applying this method in the moisture management of cotton–acrylic-blended textiles. Moreover, the presence of randomly deposited desiccant particles on the blended fabric surface confirmed by SEM is achieved in a single step, emphasizing the versatility of this method.

使用氯化钙基干燥剂改善腈纶-棉混纺织物的透湿性能：一种新方法

这项研究报告了一项旨在提高腈纶-棉混纺单面针织物湿度管理属性的工作成果。通过润湿时间、吸湿速度、润湿面积最大半径、测试液体扩散速度、湿度传输指数和总湿度管理能力等特性，分析了经处理织物的多向液体传输行为。实验结果表明，经过处理的织物的湿度管理性能从 0 提高到了 0.75。织物的润湿性也得到了提高，水接触角从处理后的 108.37°降至 66.45°。由于织物与干燥剂通过强氢键相互作用，经过处理的样品比未经处理的样品能更快地将测试液体输送到织物上。这表现在 2341 cm-1 处的傅立叶变换红外峰值在处理后有所降低。此外，还分析了干燥剂处理对物理特性的影响，如着色强度、织物厚度和重量。经干燥剂处理后的织物耐用性可达 5 个洗涤周期，相当于 25 个家庭洗涤周期，这表明将这种方法应用于棉腈混纺织物的湿度管理具有广阔的前景。此外，经扫描电子显微镜（SEM）确认，在混纺织物表面随机沉积的干燥剂颗粒只需一个步骤即可实现，强调了这种方法的多功能性。
