 union fabric have been subjected to treatment with selective chemical softeners such as catasoftener, aminosilicone, poly-oxo-ethylene and their mixtures and the changes in textile related properties of the same have been evaluated and compared. Catasoftener gives appreciable softening action but causes some degree of yellowing. Aminosilicone does not produce appreciable softening action and poly-oxo-ethylene render the fabric a moderate degree of softening action. However, 4% (owf) overall dose of 25:75 mixture of catasoftener and poly-oxo –ethylene emulsion softener gives a synergetic softening action rendering the fabric a much better balance of its textile related properties. Simple citric acid leaching makes jute-cotton union fabric brighter and resilient to some extent. Citric acid treatment in presence of equal amount of Na<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> by pad-dry (90°C for 10 min) and cure (140°C for 5min) technique show reasonable improvement in the fabric crease resistant property associated with some loss in tensile strength and increase in fabric stiffness. Among selective single and mixture of chemical softeners applied during citric acid cross-linking, addition of 4% overall dose of 25:75 mixture of aminosilicone and poly-oxo-ethylene render the fabric higher crease recovery with measurable reduction in stiffness having an overall desirable balance in other textile related properties. Also, photo-functional character of citric acid has been utilized by exposure of citric acid treated bleached jute-cotton union fabric to UV-light for grafting of acrylamide on the same rendering the modified fabric desirable soft hydrophilic finish with a better balance in its textile related properties.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/974.jpg)

Bleached jute-cotton (75:25) union fabric have been subjected to treatment with selective chemical softeners such as catasoftener, aminosilicone, poly-oxo-ethylene and their mixtures and the changes in textile related properties of the same have been evaluated and compared. Catasoftener gives appreciable softening action but causes some degree of yellowing. Aminosilicone does not produce appreciable softening action and poly-oxo-ethylene render the fabric a moderate degree of softening action. However, 4% (owf) overall dose of 25:75 mixture of catasoftener and poly-oxo –ethylene emulsion softener gives a synergetic softening action rendering the fabric a much better balance of its textile related properties. Simple citric acid leaching makes jute-cotton union fabric brighter and resilient to some extent. Citric acid treatment in presence of equal amount of Na3PO4 by pad-dry (90°C for 10 min) and cure (140°C for 5min) technique show reasonable improvement in the fabric crease resistant property associated with some loss in tensile strength and increase in fabric stiffness. Among selective single and mixture of chemical softeners applied during citric acid cross-linking, addition of 4% overall dose of 25:75 mixture of aminosilicone and poly-oxo-ethylene render the fabric higher crease recovery with measurable reduction in stiffness having an overall desirable balance in other textile related properties.
