Abstract
In recent years, the textile industry must go towards developing new technologies to reduce energy and water consumption. The use of ultrasound in textile wet processing is one way for this purpose. The aim of this work was toinvestigate the effects of ultrasonic energy on processing of cotton with cationic softener. For this purpose, cotton fabric was treated with a cationic fatty acid amide derivative cationic softener in water using ultrasonic
energy during treatment. Physical properties of the fabrics treated
under different conditions are discussed. As the results show, treatment
of fabrics with softeners in ultrasound bath is more effective compared
to conventional method and it enhances physical properties of cotton.
