Abstract

Silk/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blend fabric is a new textile material, and it suffers from hardening in the process of wet and dry heat treatment. Softening treatment usually becomes a required process to compensate the loss of softness. In this work, the softeners having different chemical structures were applied to improve the handle of silk/PLA fabric, and the effects of softening treatment on the handle, hydrophilicity, color parameters and color fastness of silk/PLA fabric were discussed. It was found that the softener having polyether fatty acid ester component was able to impart good softness to the fabric, guarantee the inherent hydrophilicity of the fabric, and exert minimal impact on the color parameters and wash color fast of the dyed fabric.
