| Abstract: | Polyester fabric has been treated with 5% NaOH (w/v) with and without 20% methanol (v/v) for 60 min at 60oC and its aesthetic and comfort related properties investigated. It is observed that the feel, handle and comfort related properties of polyester fabric improves significantly without much deterioration in its mechanical properties on using methanol as an accelerator. The total hand value, vertical wicking height, air permeability and thermal insulalion properties are found to be much improved for the fabric treated with NaOH and methanol. |
