Abstract

The aim of this work was to summarize the effect of Waterborne Polyurethane (WPU) treatment on mechanical performance (i.e., puncture, tensile, tear, and abrasion resistance) of common and technical fabrics. Then, further improvements in mechanical properties of treated textiles, thanks to the addition of nanoparticles or crosslinking agent in WPU formulations, were discussed. Benefits in combining crosslinker and UV light stabilizers, to preserve the strength of treated textiles after UV accelerated aging, has been also reported.
