Synthesis and deposition of functional nano-materials on natural fibres

Various polymeric materials were prepared and used to coat two nature fibre surfaces (cotton and wool). These polymeric materials have been deposited onto the surfaces to impart different characteristics according to their structure. Thermoregulation, textile gloss and dyeing properties were modified by the deposition of these materials. Phase Change Materials (PCM) were used to improve thermoregulation, thermo-sensitive microgels were prepared to improving textile gloss and polyethylene imine (PEI) was functionalise with quaternary amine (QI) and new reactive dyestuff (RD) to improve fibre properties. The prepared polymer were characterised using NMR, IR, SEM, DSC. Treated fibres were characterised using different ways according to the required application. Summing up, Fiber surface properties by selecting appropriate polymer structure and adjust the treatment parameters can be controlled to improve the desired properties
