Abstract |
|
|
| A significant challenge in the industrial growth of textiles is the production of sustainable and green products of fabrics with modified inter-yarn friction, possessing the least inclination toward structural changes during fabric finishing processes. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of paraffin wax treatment and finishing processes on inter-yarn friction and mechanical changes in treated and untreated fabrics. The interplay between the treatment and finishing processes demonstrates the critical role of frictional forces in determining the mechanical behavior of the fabric. Additionally, employing paraffin wax on the fabric surface assisted in refining the structural properties, improving the surface smoothness, and improving the surface fiber uniformity with modified inter-yarn dynamics. The research findings indicated that paraffin wax treatment significantly altered the fabric tensile strength, tear strength, hydrophobicity, and durability. Hence, this research provides valuable insights for optimizing inter-yarn interactions to achieve the desired performance metrics, including tensile strength, durability, and surface aesthetics. The results obtained from the paraffin wax treatment showcase the exclusive development of advanced treatment processes in the textile industry to enhance tailored mechanical and structural characteristics. |
