A study on some constituents of electrospraying process determining the deposition time

In this study, five different textile chemicals (macrosilicone, microsilicone, flame retardent, florokarbon, florokarbon+dendrimer), which are prepared with suitable solvents, are sprayed by electrospraying method on to the aluminum foil, 100% cotton knitted fabric, 100% polyamide knitted fabric and 100% polyester knitted fabric. In this spraying process, it is desired to observe how long a certain amount of solution is accumulated on the collector (deposition time), and the effecting parameters are emphasized. Environmental factors were determined as 20-23 ºC temperature and 27-32% humidity. The solution concentration, applied voltage, needle-to-collector distance parameters were also investigated. After the deposition times were observed, the relationships of the deposition times with the relevant parameters were also analyzed statistically. The effect coefficients of the parameters were obtained by these analyzes and formulas were obtained by statistical programmes. In these formulas, it is observed how parameters affect the agglomeration period (whether they are true or inverse, meaningful).Percentage errors were calculated between each formulation and each experimental result.As a result of study, deposition time shows differences according to chemical type, collector type and concentration rates.
