  Abstract

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is harmful for humans. Some textiles can protect humans against UV radiation. Ordinary fabrics have low ultraviolet protection values and can be modified by some finishing treatments. In this research work, madder and weld as natural dyes were used to dye wool fabric in order to increase UV protection. Two methods were used to modify natural dyeing of the wool fabric. In the first one, CuSO4 and FeSO4 were used as mordant for natural dyeing. In the second method, which is novel, plasma sputtering of wool fabrics by Cu and Fe in order to improve the UPF value and the affinity of wool fabric towards natural dyes were used and results were compared. The results show that, both natural dye and mordant treatment are effective in improving the UV protection properties of wool fabrics. On the other hand, plasma sputtering as an eco-friendly and dry method play very important role for improving the UPF value of the fabrics.
