Abstract

Abstract Using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in textile industry has attracted much attention due to its special properties. Also paper fibers and fabrics are the most important raw materials of textile. In this manuscript, paper yarns were weaved and treated with multi-wall CNTs (MWCNTs) in order to improve the physical properties of paper fabrics. In this regard, different percents of MWCNTs were coated on fabrics and some physical properties were investigated. Based on the results, paper fabrics treated with MWCNTs show excellent UV protection. The treated samples have more crease recovery. Also bending test and abrasion resistance analyses show improvements in treated fabrics. The adsorption test of samples shows an increase in water adsorption due to MWCNTs role of adsorbent. The results show a little decrease in strength that seems natural because of acidic pH of the used cross-link agent. In general, in addition to economic benefits of using paper fabrics, treating them with MWCNTs can also improve their physical properties.
