ABSTRACT

In the reported work, lemongrass oil was coated on the wool fabrics to impart multifunctional finish. During the treatment, chitosan was used as a crosslinking agent. The coated fabrics were characterized using SEM, EDX, FTIR and computer color matching in addition to mechanical and handle associated properties. The effect of coating was analyzed on the three functional properties viz., moth repellence, UV protection and aroma of the fabric. During the moth repellence test, the lemongrass treated wool fabrics showed higher moth mortality (80%) and less weight loss (14%). The UV protection factor (UPF) was also found higher (127) than the untreated wool fabric (44). The coated fabrics retained aroma even after 90 days of storage. This environment-friendly fabric coating can be applied to different types of woolen products and other textiles for value addition.

摘要

在报告的工作中，柠檬草油被涂在羊毛织物上以赋予多功能整理。在处理过程中，壳聚糖被用作交联剂。除了机械和手感相关性能外，使用 SEM、EDX、FTIR 和计算机颜色匹配对涂层织物进行了表征。分析了涂层对三种功能特性的影响，即.，防蛀，防紫外线和织物的香气。在防蛀测试中，经柠檬草处理的羊毛织物表现出更高的防蛀率（80%）和更少的重量损失（14%）。还发现紫外线防护系数 (UPF) (127) 高于未经处理的羊毛织物 (44)。涂层织物即使在储存 90 天后仍保持香气。这种环保型织物涂层可应用于不同类型的毛纺产品和其他纺织品以实现增值。
