COMPARISON OF ANTIBACTERIAL AND SOME PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF KNITTED FABRICS PRODUCED FROM BAMBOO, COTTON AND VISCOSE FIBER

Abstract

Cotton, bamboo, and viscose fibers were examined in this study for their suitability in textile production. Bamboo, being a regenerated cellulosic fiber, has gained popularity in the industry due to its ecological properties. Fabrics made from bamboo exhibit comfort, wrinkle resistance, and thermal regulation. Additionally, they possess natural antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable properties, along with high moisture absorption, shine, softness, and UV protection. The study compared knitted fabrics from these fibers, evaluating their water vapor permeability, air permeability, burst strength, water absorbency, abrasion resistance, and antibacterial properties according to international standards. Results showed that bamboo and cotton fibers have similar water vapor permeability, both higher than viscose fibers. Bamboo fiber's air permeability is notably higher than cotton and viscose fibers. Moreover, bamboo's water absorption surpasses cotton and viscose, leading to better sweat absorption. Bamboo fiber also demonstrated superior antibacterial properties compared to cotton and viscose, with higher bacterial eradication rates. Fabrics made from bamboo exhibited higher bursting strength and comparable pilling values to cotton, outperforming viscose. Overall, bamboo fiber demonstrated better air permeability, water absorbency, antibacterial properties, abrasion resistance, and bursting strength compared to cotton and viscose, making it a desirable choice for cool and comfortable textiles.
