| Summary: | The aim of this research is to produce a substrate that can be used for the development of protective gowns. For this purpose, a cotton-polyester blended plain weave fabric was treated with a coating paste comprising fluorocarbon and acrylic resins. The coating process parameters, which are fluorocarbon resin quantity (%), acrylic paste quantity (g m−2), and reticulation time (min), were varied by using a Box–Behnken experimental design. Textile fabric characteristics in terms of thickness (mm), coating add-on (%), air permeability (L m−2 s−1), surface hydrophobicity (mg cm), and flexural rigidity (mg cm−1) were then analyzed and discussed. |
