Improvement of fabrics printability using metal oxides nanoparticles

Functionalized textiles are very promising for wearable technologies.The main purpose of this study is to improve fabrics printability using metal oxides nanoparticles.Polyester ̸ cotton, PET, Cotton, Polyamide, and viscose were treated by using different nanoparticle metal oxides (MgO, ZnO, and TiO2) with many ratios (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2%).In addition to that, the treated fabrics were printed by disperse dye red 60.The result shows, that the color strength of treated fabrics significantly improved in a comparison with untreated fabrics.Moreover, the mechanical performances of treated fabrics are also investigated.
