Abstract

The aims of this research study multifunctional printing techniques on wool fabrics by using textile printing processes which are categorized as direct printing and indirect printing. Direct printing includes screen printing by using natural, synthetic dyes and pigment printing by using functional additives such as TiO2- nanoparticles which lead to multifunctional finishing wool. It also includes digital inkjet printing by utilizing air plasma as a pretreatment, Eco-Friendly pretreatment by using H2O2 and papain, and by using different thickeners. Indirect printing includes discharge and resists printing. All these techniques lead to enhance printability, the functionality of wool, and the fastness properties of all wool prints.
