Loess Dyeing on Cotton Fabrics using Silane Coupling Agent

Silane Coupling제를 이용한 면직물의 황토염색

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 $17.88\mu{m}$ and main components were $SiO_2,\;Al_2O_3\;and\;Fe_2O_3$. 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.
