Analysis of double face finished cotton properties for bed sheet aplications [i. é applications]

Abstract

This work aims to study the influence of softeners and non-slip finishes in the comfort of multifunctional bed sheets for the season spring/summer, or used all year round in mild or warm temperatures. For this, different concentrations of softeners and non-slip products were applied to 100% cotton taffeta fabrics. Each finishing was applied on a single face of the textile and combined by application by a double face process. The evaluation of the mechanical and thermal properties of the finished bed sheets was studied. This application can be important, for persons that are resting in bed during long periods of time, preventing pressure ulcers.
