Abstract

In this study natural fabrics such as cotton (C), wool (W) and cotton/wool (CW) fabrics were treated using polycations (PC) such as polyethyleneimine (PEI) and chitosan (CH) to enhance the printing results for natural and synthetic dyes. The effect of polycation concentration, printing paste pH, time and temperature of fixation on printing performance were studied. SEM, methylene blue test, FTIR, reflectance spectroscopy, water contact angle measurements, and antibacterial test were used to investigate the cationic group content, chemical surface modification, whiteness index, surface tension, and antibacterial properties of the modified cotton samples. Bactericidal inhibition tests revealed that the modified fabric with chitosan/TPP bilayers may enhance the degree of inhibition on E. coli and S. aureus bacteria. It was a simple and cost-effective approach.
