Engineering of Wool Nano-clay Functionalization for Different Approaches

Abstract

The research has conducted finishing of wool fabrics by clay nano-layers and its effect on the felting properties of treated wool fabrics. Natural and modified montmorillonite used to modify the fabrics. To this end, the knitted wool fabrics have been treated under ultrasound. Then, the samples have been subjected to felting operation with two acidic and alkaline conditions. Felting properties of samples were investigat-ed and compared with control samples. According to the results, felting properties were affected by nano-clay types and pH. Therefore, nano-clay finishing can increase felting potential, or conversely, increase re-sistance to shrinkage according to pH of felting solution and nano-clay surface characteristics. Thus, in ba-sis of ultimate goal the required condition can be controlled to boost felting properties or prevent fabric shrinkage.
