Abstract

The research reports moisture management capabilities of the jute/cotton blended fabric before and after enzyme and amino silicone softener treatment. The findings of the results revealed that the enzyme and silicone softener treatment significantly (p<0.05) increased the moisture management characteristics of the jute/cotton fabric irrespective of jute blend proportions. The finished jute/cotton blended union fabric possessed a wetting time (WT) of 6 seconds over the untreated fabric (15 s) on both top and bottom sides. The maximum wetted radius (MWR) of the untreated fabric reduced with respect to the increment in jute percentage in the yarn. In the finished fabric, irrespective of jute proportion the MWR increased to 20 mm/s both top and bottom surface. The absorption rate (AR) of the untreated fabrics noted very high on the top side of the fabric (282 %/s) and less in the bottom side (37 %/s). However, the finished fabric showed a reduced AR on the top side (8 %/s) and higher AR on the backside (51 %/s). Spreading speed (SS) of the untreated fabric noted lesser (0.3 mm/s) than treated (1.2 mm/s). The overall moisture content (OWTC) of the untreated fabric (accumulation of both top and bottom) is rated as very poor and after finishing the fabrics are rated as very good. The Overall moisture management capability (OMMC) of the treated fabric improved from very poor (0.3) to very good (0.6–0.8) designation. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis revealed OMMC values negatively and linearly correlated with OWTC. The findings confirmed that better moisture management behavior of the finished fabric mainly depends on the higher spreading speed and lower wetting time.
