Abstract

This paper is concerned with the effect of mercerization on the ultraviolet (UV) blocking property of 100% cotton knitted fabrics with different structures. In this study, we proposed that the mercerization process may enhance UV blocking property of 100% cotton knitted fabrics. UV measurement is carried out using a spectrophotometer and the results revealed that mercerization process did not have significant improvement on the UV blocking properties but the fabric structure did.
