| Abstract | ||||
| This research aims to study the effect of ginger solutionin reducing the electrostatic property and increasing the thermal insulation of the bandage while maintaining the functional properties of the bandage fabric.To achieve this goal, bandage fabrics consisting of 70% cotton and 30% polyamide were treated with ginger in different concentrations, (25 - 50 - 100%), There are some variables such as ginger solution concentration and number of bandage layers (1, 2 and 3) whose effect on the performance properties of bandage has been studied. Several tests were performed for these samples before and after treatment such as electrostatic charge value, thermal insulation value, air permeability, water permeability and square meter weight. The results showed that with an increase in the concentration of the treatment material and the number of layers, the value of thermal insulation increased and the value of the electrostatic charge decreased, with an unnoticeable effect on the other properties of the bandage. Thus the ginger-treated bandage can be used to treat patients with arthritis. | ||||
