ffect of Some Cons
Effect of Some Construction Specifications on Fabric Properties Produced for incontinence pad to Suit Functional Purpose
Abstract
This research is mainly concerned with designing woven fabrics used in diapers. The woven technique was applied to produce these fabrics, using cotton yarns. The produced fabrics were treated with Scouring, Bleaching ,antibacterial ,softening, water repellency, hydrogel or superabsorbent formation by Quat-188, Actigard and carboxy methyl cellulose. Different parameters were studied including, fabric structure (plain weave 1/1, regular hopsack 3/3 honeycomb and mock leno).Their influence on the performance of the end-use fabric and the achieved properties were studied. On the other hand physico-chemical properties including; antibacterial, water repellency, absorption, air permeability, water permeability, handle, 9-tensile strength & elongation, thickness and weight, were evaluated according to the final product needs
-Nappies (diapers)
Nappies (diapers) are used to absorb waste from babies for maintaining health and hygiene of baby as well as his environment .Mothers used to cover the baby with old clean and absorbent cloth.Whenever the diapers get solid ,they are changed ,washed ,dried ,and reused .The types of nappies or diapers vary greatly through out the world from reusable cloth to the modern disposable type. Disposable diapers and similar have been manufactured using one or more layers of cellulose tissue which makes the diaper relatively stiff . Reusable nappy is made from woven terry cloth which is a woven, warp-pile cotton fabric covered on both sides with uncut loops .
