Description Not Available
In the reported work, lemongrass oil was coated on the wool fabrics to
impart multifunctional finish. During the treatment, chitosan was used as
a crosslinking agent. The coated fabrics were characterized using SEM, EDX,
FTIR and computer color matching in addition to mechanical and handle
associated properties. The effect of coating was analyzed on the three
functional properties viz., moth repellence, UV protection and aroma of
the fabric. During the moth repellence test, the lemongrass treated wool
fabrics showed higher moth mortality (80%) and less weight loss (14%). The
UV protection factor (UPF) was also found higher (127) than the untreated
wool fabric (44). The coated fabrics retained aroma even after 90 days of
storage. This environment-friendly fabric coating can be applied to different
types of woolen products and other textiles for value addition.
