    Novel UV-protective formulations for cotton, PET fabrics and their blend utilizing irradiation technique
    (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009) Zohdy, Maged H.; Hossamy, Mamdouh B.; El-Naggar, Abdel Wahab M.; Fathalla., Abeer I; Ali, Nisreen M.
    A novel coating formulation to impart ultraviolet (UV) protection property to cotton, Polyethylene trephethalate (PET) and cotton/PET fabrics was prepared and gamma rays as an ionizing radiation was utilized for surface curing. Natural occurring aluminum potassium sulfate (Alum) was used individually and in binary coat with Zinc Oxide (ZnO), to induce the UV-blocking properties. It was found that using Alum (0.3 g/ml) caused a prompt increase in ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) over the uncoated fabrics. Moreover, the incorporated ZnO in the binary coat increased the UPF for two to threefold than the stand-alone Alum coating, specially in case of PET coated fabric. Water absorbance and moisture regain of ZnO and Alum/ZnO coated fabrics showed a decrease over the blank samples, due to the usage of oligomer/monomer combination. On contrary, Alum showed a hydrophilic effect with the increase in its content in the formulation. Surface Electron Microscope showed the homogenous coating of fibers. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and water vapor permeability were also tested for coated samples. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
