Abstract:

The development of society is linked to the development of the textile industry, as high-performance textiles play an effective role in all areas of life, especially in clothing. Doctors must be distinguished by special specifications by using raw materials to have the ability to resist bacteria to give the wearer a sense of comfort.

The fabrics used in doctors’ clothes contain transformative fibers such as modal, bamboo and tencel fibers mixed with cotton. They are used infrequently, although they have advantages that are preferable to use, such as their ability to be highly absorbent and resistant to bacteria.

The research aims to take advantage of high-performance anti-bacterial cellulosic transformational fibers to improve the functional performance of doctors' clothes, by reaching the best mixing ratio and the best raw material. (13 samples) were produced with structure ½ twill Reverse expulsion , With four ratios of mixing the weft rims (Modal - Bamboo - Tencel) with cotton, as follows (100% cotton, 75% cotton: 25% bamboo, 50% cotton: 50% bamboo, 25% cotton: 75% bamboo, 100% bamboo), (75% cotton: 25% modal, 50% cotton: 50% modal, 25% cotton: 75% modal , 100% Modal), (75% Cotton: 25% Tencel, 50% Cotton: 50% Tencel, 25% Cotton: 75% Tencel, 100% Tencel). Various tests were conducted on the produced fabrics, such as testing thickness, weight per square meter, tensile strength, elongation, moisture absorption, bacteria resistance, and air permeability, and most of the samples achieved the required results.
