Abstract

Recently, manufacturing of antiperspirant and antibacterial sports textiles has been considered important for special sportswear, underwear, socks, and shoes. Meanwhile, the use of supplementation procedures and the application of nanomaterials have been addressed as a suitable approach to meet this goal. In this study, Coolmax fabric has been used as the primry material for sportswear, due to its superior performance compared to natural fabrics. Despite its favorable properties, Coolmax fabric induces challenges for us due to its similarity to natural fabrics in terms of antimicrobial and antiperspirant properties. The researchers of the study have attempted to solve this problem using the effective substance of cyclodextrin and silver nanoparticles as antibacterial and antiperspirants materials on Coolmax fabric and investigate and analyze their impacts further. First, sulfonation and mercerization supplements have been used to modify the fabric's superficial properties. Then, the fabrics have been supplemented through cyclodextrin and silver nanoparticles immersion to investigate their antimicrobial and antiperspirant properties. To this end, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), body's antiperspirants and antibacterial experiments have been done. Physical properties of the product including fabric's bending potential, return from wrinkles and staining impacts which are the important properties of sportswear products have been analyzed accordingly. Results showed that the supplementation procedures did not have any unfavorable impact on fabric's physical properties; however, it is concluded that the improvement of their antibacterial and antiperspirant properties
