Abstract
The effects of silane coupling agent on the performance properties of cotton fabrics treated with loess and its washing durability were investigated. Mean average diameter of loess was 17.88㎛ and main components were SiO₂, Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃. By using the cationic agent, the dyeability of cotton fabrics was improved. The washing durability, antibacterial property and deodorization rate were improved and very good emissivities of far infra-red rays were obtained by using the silane coupling agent. And also the mechanical properties of cotton fabrics, such as primary hand values, were improved.
