Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the ability of 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine as an ultraviolet (UV) absorber for the functionalization of cotton fabric. 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine was applied at different concentrations via the pad-dry-cure method, and the structure of the functionalized cotton fabric was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and UV–Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy. The UV protection properties of the fabrics were measured in terms of UV blocking, and ultraviolet protection factor (UPF). The results were compared with those of fabrics coated using commonly used UV absorbers, TiO2, and ZnO. The fabric samples coated with 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine at concentrations of 5% and 10% had low UV transmittance percentages in the UVB region. In particular, the protection rate of the sample treated with 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine at a concentration of 10% was recorded as "excellent protection". The findings revealed that 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine provided a non-toxic alternative to TiO2 and ZnO, and the fabrics functionalized with 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine could have a potential application in the field of summer wear and outdoor activewear.

1,3,7-Trimetilksantin ile UV koruyucu fonksiyonel pamuklu kumaşların geliştirilmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 1,3,7-Trimetilksantinin pamuklu kumaşlara ultraviyole (UV) koruyucu özellik kazandırmasındaki işlevini araştırmak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Farklı konsantrasyonlarda 1,3,7-Trimetilksantin, pamuklu kumaşlara emdirme-kurutma-kondenzasyon yöntemiyle uygulanmış ve bu yolla fonksiyonel hale getirilmiş pamuklu kumaşların yapısı Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobu (SEM), Fourier Dönüşümü Kızılötesi Spektroskopisi (FT-IR) ve UV-Görünür (UV-Vis) Spektroskopisi ile incelenmiş, kumaşların UV koruma özellikleri, UV bloklama ve UV koruma faktörü (UPF) ölçülerek değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, yaygın olarak kullanılan UV emiciler olan TiO2 ve ZnO kullanılarak kaplanan kumaşlarla karşılaştırılmıştır. %5’lik ve %10’luk konsantrasyonlardaki 1,3,7-Trimetilksantin ile kaplanan kumaş numunelerinin UVB bölgesinde düşük UV geçirgenlik yüzdelerine sahip olduğu, özellikle %10’luk konsantrasyonda 1,3,7-Trimetilksantin ile muamele edilen numunenin “mükemmel koruma” seviyesine sahip olduğu gözlenmiştir. Bulgular, 1,3,7-Trimetilksantinin, TiO2 ve ZnO'ya toksik olmayan bir alternatif sağladığını ve 1,3,7-Trimetilksantin ile fonksiyonel hale getirilen kumaşların yazlık giyim ve dış mekân spor giyim alanında potansiyel bir uygulamaya sahip olabileceğini ortaya çıkarmıştır.
