Abstract

In order to better study the effects of antibacterial and flame resistance finishing to the properties of cotton/bamboo pulp interwoven fabric, a kind of cotton/bamboo pulp interwoven fabric was designed and woven. Fabric properties before and after antibacterial and flame resistance finishing like tensile strength at break, tearing strength, anti-bending stiffness, drapability coefficient, wrinkle recovery angle, air permeability, water vapor permeability, water absorption, dimensional stability to washing, vertical burn damaged length and bacterial inhibition rate etc. were tested. The results show that tensile strength at break, tearing strength, wrinkle recovery angle, air permeability, water vapor permeability, water absorption after antibacterial and flame resistance finishing are worse than those of before finishing. anti-bending stiffness, dynamic drapability coefficient, dimensional stability to washing, vertical burn damaged length, bacterial inhibition rate after antibacterial and flame resistance finishing are better than those of before finishing. Static basically remains the same. It is considered that fabric antibacterial and flame resistance property are better after finishing.
