Özet
In this study, cotton fabrics were treated with temperature-water responsive
nanocomposites consisting of shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) and cellulose
nanowhiskers (CNWs), for smart crease recovery/retention functions besides
breathability with dynamic porosity. The smart crease recovery/retention functions were
determined in air and water at different temperatures simulating laundry and drying
processes and air permeability test was conducted at different fabric temperatures. FT-IR
and SEM analyses confirm the SMPU-CNW nanocomposite presence on fabric. Test
results show that the treated cotton fabrics have not only dual responsive shape memory
properties providing smart permeability, but also dynamic crease recovery/retention with
enhanced end-use properties.
