Investigation of the Effect of Ozonation Process on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Raw Silk Fabrics

Öz

Ozone, recognized as an environmentally friendly oxidative compound, holds substantial promise for sustainable applications in the textile industry. Silk fiber, a valuable natural material composed of sericin and fibroin proteins, is particularly significant in this context. This study focuses on assessing the impact of 15-minute ozonation periods applied to raw silk fabrics under neutral, acidic, and basic conditions. The evaluation includes weight loss, whiteness-yellowness, hydrophilicity, and strength tests performed on the samples, with a thorough examination of the obtained results. The results was evaluated the effects of the ozonation process and it was determined that the most effective medium in terms of weight loss, whiteness-yellowness and strength was the neutral medium.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Water ozonation

Ozonlama İşleminin Ham İpek Kumaşların Fiziksel ve Mekanik Özelliklerine Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Ozon, oksidatif çevreci bir gaz olmasıyla bilinen bir bileşiktir ve tekstil endüstrisinde kullanılması, sürdürülebilir tekstil uygulamalarında önemli bir potansiyele işaret etmektedir. İpek lifi, serisin ve fibroin proteininden oluşan önemli ve kıymetli bir doğal liftir. Bu çalışmada, ham ipek kumaşlarına uygulanan 15 dakikalık ozonlama sürelerinin nötr, asidik ve bazik ortamlarda meydana getirdiği etkiler değerlendirilmiştir. Numunelere ağırlık kaybı, beyazlık-sarılık, hidrofilite ve mukavemet testleri yapılmış ve sonuçlar incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, ozonlama işleminin etkilerini değerlendirerek, ağırlık kaybı, beyazlık-sarılık ve mukavemet açılarından en etkili ortamın nötr ortam olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
