Abstract

wrinkle-free and self-cleaning finishes are widely used in the textile industry to impart multi-functional properties to fabrics. To achieve the anti-wrinkle function, cotton fabrics were treated with silicone rubber, while polyester fabrics were treated with zinc oxide nanoparticles to impart the self-cleaning finish. All The parameters and required measurements are included and investigated. wrinkle-free and self-cleaning finishes are widely used in the textile industry to impart multi-functional properties to fabrics.
