DEVELOPMENT OF WATER REPELLENT COTTON FABRIC WITH APPLICATION OF ZnO, Al2O3, TiO2 and ZrO2 NANOPARTICLES MODIFIED WITH ORMOSILS

Bu çalışma, uzun zincirli alkil silanları içeren ORMOSİL'ler (ORganik MOdifiye SİLanlar) ile ard hidrofob modifikasyon işlemi gören çinko asetat, alüminyum sülfat, alüminyum izopropoksit, zirkonyum asetilasetonat ve titanyum izopropoksit gibi inorganik başlatıcılarla pamuklu kumaş yüzeyinde pürüzlülük yaratarak yıkamaya dayanıklı su iticilik özelliği kazandırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu organik-inorganik hibrid materyaller ile işlem gören kumaş numunelerinin yıkama işleminden önce ve sonra temas açısı değerleri, beyazlık değerleri, yırtılma mukavemeti ve eğilme uzunluğu değerleri ölçülmüştür. Ayrıca pamuklu kumaşların mikroyapısal özellikleri tarama elektron mikroskobu ve Fourier transform kızılötesi spektroskopisi ile analiz edilmiştir. Çinko- ve zirkonyum-esaslı inorganik başlatıcılar ile işlem gören kumaş numunelerinin yıkamaya dayanıklı su itici özelliğe sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Nanokristal hazırlanması, nanopartikül büyümesi ve hidrofob modifikasyon olmak üzere üç adımlı yaş kimyasal yöntem kullanıldığında başarılı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca bu proses basitlik, düşük ücret, düşük sıcaklık ve florokarbon kimyasına dayanmayan çevre dostu uygulama olması avantajlarına sahiptir

ORMOSİL’LER İLE MODİFİYE EDİLEN ZnO, Al2O3, TiO2 and ZrO2 NANOPARTİKÜLLERİNİN APLİKASYONU İLE SU İTİCİ PAMUKLU KUMAŞLARIN GELİŞTİRİLMESİ

The study aimed to achieve durable water repellent properties in cotton fabric by creating roughness on its surface using zinc acetate, aluminium sulphate, aluminium isopropoxide, zirconium acetylacetonate and titanium isopropoxide as the inorganic precursors with subsequent hydrophobic modification with ORMOSILs (ORganic MOdified SILanes) consisting of long-chain alkyl silanes. The contact angle values before and after washing treatment, whiteness values, tear strength and bending length values of the fabric samples treated with these organic–inorganic hybrid materials were measured. Moreover, the microstructural properties of the cotton fabric were analysed by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy. It was concluded that the fabric samples treated with zinc- and zirconium-based inorganic precursors have durable water repellent properties. The results were successful for the fabric samples when the wet chemical route contained three steps: nanocrystal preparation, nanoparticle growth and hydrophobic modification. Moreover, the process has the advantages of simplicity, low cost, low temperature and environmental friendliness without being based on perfluorination
