| Abstract | ||||
| Silicone-based materials have been used for textile surfaces to develop water-resistant properties. The most common silicone rubber has been appealing due to its effectiveness in penetrating substrates without compromising the textile characteristics. Because of the urgent need for getting waterproofed clothes in many fields, this research investigates treating polyester as well as polyamide fabrics using silicone/ rubber. Silicone deposits hydrophobic layer on fiber surface, preventing water from penetrating into fibers and, therefore and making it waterproofed. Our fabrics were printed with a hydrochromic paste prior to being finished. The hydrochromic color changes from white to transparent when it becomes wet. All the required measurements were explored. | ||||
