Abstract
Humans need more protection since environmental pollution becomes more serious problem. In many recent years, the appearance of many infectious diseases has generated the life-threatening and the tremendous challenges have given for medical scientists in diagnosis and treatment methods. Multifunctional protective costumes may be a good solution to protect efficiently human body from such risks. Among initiatives, dual antibacterial and water repellent fabric was able to be a great choice in designing the surgical gown in order to efficiently protect. This work provides usefully interesting information about the synergies among finishing agents on cotton fabric. Accordingly, the experimental results clarified the biocidal and hydrophobic mechanism at the same time under various conditions. In addition, the wearing comforts associated with heat tranfer and air exchange between body skin and fabric layers were concerned to increase the product performances.
