“…It is concluded that air permeability is directly affected by weight and thickness. Mishra et al 20 found the air permeability of single jersey fabric (70% modacrylic and 30% cotton blend) with a weight of 109 g/ m 2 as 1178 mm/s and the thermal resistance as 28 m 2 mK/W. The air permeability of single jersey fabric in this study is similar to theirs, but there is a serious difference in the thermal resistance.…”

“…14,16,21 Besides ISO 15025, different vertical burning standards can also be applied to this type of fabric. 20 According to the test results all fabrics passed the test, thanks to their modacrylic content with a low flammability property. The S1 and R1 samples, which are lighter than other fabrics, caught fire but selfextinguished themselves within 2 seconds after the burner was cut off, while other fabrics did not catch fire after being exposed to the flame for 10 seconds.…”

“…The highest thermal resistance values were observed in three-thread fleece fabrics (F1 and F2), which are the thickest and heaviest. Mishra et al 20 also stated that thermal resistance is proportional to fabric thickness. In addition to these, the R1 sample, which has a 1 Â 1 rib structure, also gives a very high thermal resistance value despite its low thickness.…”

“…When we look at the literature, it can be seen that in previous studies about knitted fabrics with modacrylic blends, the mixing ratio of modacrylic or the mixture of modacrylic fibers with other flameretardant fibers has been examined. 5,10,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] In line with the above-mentioned information in this study, use of the same or similar modacrylic content ratios with different knitting structures was studied as undergarments for firefighters. For this purpose, mechanical strength, thermal comfort properties and flame resistance of the modacrylic and cotton blended fabrics with different structures were investigated.…”

In this study, the mechanical, comfort and flame-retardant properties of different knitted fabric structures containing modacrylic fibers with different blend ratios were investigated. Single jersey, rib, pique, three-thread fleece and interlock fabrics were produced with modacrylic/cotton blended yarns and evaluated comparatively. In order to understand the effect of antistatic fiber content on the investigated properties, two fabrics with antistatic fiber were produced. Since modacrylic fibers have moderate abrasion resistance, pilling resistances of the fabrics are not excellent. Due to the knitted fabrics having a soft and flexible structure, their fabric stiffness and bursting strength are quite high. It has been determined that water vapor resistances of all fabrics are satisfactory and the moisture management properties of the S1 (60% modacrylic, 40% cotton) and R1 (60% modacrylic, 40% cotton) fabrics are excellent. All the fabrics passed the flame-retardancy tests and it is sufficient that the modacrylic ratio is between 50% and 60% according to the fabric structure. Results also showed that 2% antistatic fiber content had no effect on the mechanical, thermal comfort and flame-retardancy properties. Since the air permeability, water vapor resistance and moisture management properties of S1 and R1 specimens are good enough, it is recommended to use one of them according to different temperature conditions. Evaluation of modacrylic fiber blended fabrics in different knitting types in terms of mechanical strength, thermal comfort and flame resistance properties together constitutes the originality of the work. Thus, it was possible to evaluate the effect of different knitting types and contents on all tests.

Wearable electronic textiles with high conductivity and excellent antibacterial activity are very desirable to minimize health risks and deteriorated performance of the electronic textiles in application. In this work, conductive fabrics were prepared with chitosan nonwovens with inherent antibacterial activity as the substrate. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized in situ on the surface of chitosan fabric without any additional reducing agent, and silver nanowires (AgNWs) were adhered to the surface of AgNPs-coated chitosan fabrics by simple dip-coating cycles. The synergy of AgNPs and AgNWs enhances the conductivity of the fabric and the stability of AgNPs on the surface of the fabric. According to the analysis of scanning electron microscope and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectra, AgNPs were reduced in situ on the fabric. With synergy of AgNPs and AgNWs, the electrical resistance of the fabric is as low as low as 0.93 Ω/sq and 0.20 Ω/sq after one and four dip-coating cycles of AgNWs respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis and inhibition zone assay showed that combination of AgNPs and AgNWs enhanced the thermal stability and antibacterial activity of chitosan fabrics. The chitosan fabrics with conductivity, thermal stability and antibacterial activity can be used in electronic textiles for different applications.
