Abstract
In today’s world, textile fabrics are manufactured so as to
provide their users not only with comfort of use, but also with
safety and health protection. On the other hand, demanding
and sophisticated customers as well as fabric designers are
looking for new functionalities, e.g. anti-bacteria, UVprotection,
anti-odour, self-cleaning, ... etc. Efforts are being
made to enhance the appearance properties, e.g. pilling,
whiteness, wrinkle recovery…, the maintenance properties,
e.g. dimensional stability, stain release…etc, the comfort
properties, e.g. heat transfer, air permeability, wickability,
hand, as well as the functional properties, e.g. anti-bacteria,
UV-blocking…etc, by changing the fibre type, yarn
parameters, knitting structure, knitting properties as well as
pretreatment, dyeing and post-finishing regimes. In an effort to
supply additional information about the impact of knit
structure as well as functional finishes such as soft-finish, biofinish,
anti-bacteria finish as well as water-repellent finish on
the performance, comfort, and functional properties of fullbleached
and reactive dyed cotton knits, we have undertaken
this study.
To achieve this goal, the original work presented in this thesis
was designed as follows:
