The influence of chemical fibers’ surface treatment to the nonwoven materials’ properties

Abstract

The silicon-organic compounds have been immobilized to the surface of fibers, canvases and nonwoven materials with the help of different surface treatments, for example by oligoalkoxy(C3-C6)(alkoxy)siloxanes. The influence is exerted by not only the number of modifier and the method of its application to the fibers surface, canvases and nonwoven materials but by the type of modifiers. It was found that the most hand and the mechanical properties of the material are affected by the manner in which the oligoalkoxy(C3-C6)(alkoxy)siloxanes are deposited on the fiber surface, which is largely depends on the concentration of the compound. In all cases, tear strength and increases with the application of silicone polymer till the point of 15 times and intensifying after a washing and preserving after 20 washings.
