  Abstract

Importance of multifunctional finishing of textiles is increasing day by day due to greater consumer demand. Cross-linker is one of the commonly used finishes agent to impart functionality in textiles. In this research work the performance of the formaldehyde free carboxylic acid based eco-friendly cross-linkers; citric acid (CA) and maleic acid (MA) was enhanced by incorporating three different types of metal oxides nanoparticle (ZnO, MgO and CaO). Two different fixation methods of pad-dry-cure with and without UV irradiation were used. ZnO along with CA and MA was found to be most effective in increasing crease recovery performance of the cotton fabric followed by MgO while CaO was found to be ineffective. Fabric tear strength was also improved by the incorporation of these nanoparticles. Additionally, incorporation of these nanoparticles exhibited improvement in the fabric handle and antimicrobial properties.
