Aloe Finishing and Properties Study of Cotton Knitted Underwear Fabric
The development of functional and comfortable underwear fabric has always been a research focus of textile and clothing.In this paper,thealoe gel with excellent moisturizing and antibacterial effects was used as finishing agent to finish cotton knitted underwear,and the influence of different process parameters on the finishing effect was explored.The wearability of finished fabrics containing different aloe gel attachment rates was tested and evaluated.The study shows that the effective ingredients in aloe gel finishing are aloe anthraquinone and aloe polysaccharide,and the highest aloe gel attachment rate can be achieved under the condition of aloe gel finishing at the concentration of 7%and the treatment temperature of 60 ℃ for 30 minutes.After finishing with aloe gel,the hydrophilicity of the fabric is generally improved,but the air permeability is not significantly changed,and the fluffiness and fullness of the fabric is slightly decreased,the surface of the fabric is relatively smooth,the smoothness and waxy degree of the fabric is reduced,and the cold contact feeling becomes stronger.However,when the aloe gel concentration is low,the softness of the fabric will not be greatly affected.
