Abstract | ||||
Abstract Nanotechnology became a core of many research works specially in textiles field as it is being applied to obtain such effective properties that were not exist until its applications in smart textiles. The development of fibers spinning techniques have created a relationship between the geometrical parameters of yarns and performance properties of the resulted fabrics. Fabrics woven using compact cotton yarns found to have better UV protection and water-vapor transmittance than those of combed yarns. The compactness, evenness and low hairiness of such yarns have created an integrated structure that enhanced fabrics UV protection and water-vapor passage through fabrics. TiO2NPs have improved total fabrics performance specially for UV protection, while samples of compact yarns had a better result for both properties. | ||||
