TY - JOUR TI - Investigation of the effects of antibacterial finishing on some mechanical properties of cotton sheet fabrics AU - Sultan, Akpinar Eli̇F AU - Volkan, Kaplan AU - Yahya, Can T2 - Industria Textila AB - In this article, it is aimed to determine the effect of the antibacterial finishing process applied to bed linen fabrics, which are widely used in the market, on some mechanical properties of the fabric. Antibacterial finishing process was applied to the fabric produced for this purpose under operating conditions and wrinkle strength, tear strength and abrasion resistance levels were made on these fabrics. Measurements were made before and after antibacterial finishing. The resulting results were evaluated among themselves and processed in SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 21.0 program. Since the number of processed data is less than 50 according to greige fabric and antibacterial treated fabric measurements, it has been tested with Shapiro-Wilk analysis. The homogeneity of the test variances of the data was done with Levene homogeneity test. Tear strength, creasing angle and abrasion resistance test results are focused on how scientifically meaningful the effects of process parameters and interactions on fabric properties are in accordance with statistical analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the results obtained from the tear strength, wrinkle angle and abrasion resistance tests were statistically significant and as a result, the antibacterial process parameters negatively affect the wrinkle strength, tear strength of the cotton fabric; it was found to affect the wear resistance positively.
