Development of High end Textile Structures for Active sport wears applications using Coating Technology

摘要

Sports textile is one of the well-known branches of technical textiles. Sophisticated technologies were used to produce active sportswear. Textiles especially used for sportswear application require special functional properties like moisture management, antimicrobial and UV protection. With increase in awareness regarding healthy and safety life there properties are at prime importants for development of new products in the sport and allied area. The paper discusses the effect of different coating formulations with selected speciality chemicals on the functional properties of cotton and polyester fabric samples via direct coating method. The coated fabrics were evaluated for their properties viz., antimicrobial, moisture management and UV protection.
