| Abstract: | In this research, polyester fabrics were treated with three concentrations (10, 20 and 30 g/L) of macro- and microemulsions
of silicones in water at 30 °C by the padding method. The treated fabrics were then dried/cured at 130 °C for 40 s. Some of
the physical and chemical properties of the samples are discussed. The drapeability of treated samples was lower and found
to depend on the silicone particle size. Moisture absorbency of treated samples was also lower. Colorimetric properties of
softener treated fabrics were evaluated with a reflectance spectrophotometer. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) examinations
showed an aggregation of silicone particles on the fiber surface.
