Abstract: Aiming at the shortcomings of the cotton fabric such as poor in UV and wrinkle resistance,nanometer ZnO,chitosan,and silicone were used to finish it for improving its anti-ultraviolet and anti-wrinkle properties,as well as serviceability.Cotton fabrics were treated with nanometer ZnO by double-dip-double-nip process varying such parameters as the dosage of the finishing agent,bath ratio,duration of dipping,curing temperature and time,followed by treating with chitosan and amino-silicones solution in different concentrations via double-dip-double-nip.The ultraviolet transmissibility,breaking strength,absorbency,whiteness,crease recovery angle,rigidity and softness of the treated fabrics were examined.The findings indicated that the anti-ultraviolet and anti-wrinkle properties of the fabric enhanced distinctly.
