摘要

The possibility of simultaneous bleaching and anti-pilling of cotton fabric, using UV radiation on hydrogen peroxide impregnated samples has been studied, The effect of photo-initiator or sensitizer, sodium hydroxide as an activator, sodium silicate as a stabilizer for H2O2, and irradiation time on the samples whiteness, yellowness, pilling rate, and strength loss, were investigated. The comparisions of the results with the conventional pad-steam process indicate that the adequate whiteness can be obtained by padding the cotton fabric with the pad-steam pad bath components and UV irradiation, while the strength loss is between acceptable limits, with considerable reduction in, pilling tendency.
