Abstract

After the global spread of the Coronavirus, need to produce woven, washable and reusable protective medical face masks, and with high quality specifications. The current research is aimed at trying to produce fabrics suitable for woven face masks using microfiber -blended with cotton fabrics, after being treated with environmentally friendly natural Phycocyanin, and give it greater resistance to bacteria. The process was carried out using 3 concentrations of Phycocyanin (300,200,100 mg/L), the cloth was dried using 3 degrees (60.50.40°), and use 3 drying times (1,2.3 minutes،( then perform the required laboratory tests on treated, untreated fabrics. This is followed by an analysis of the laboratory results of the tested properties of the samples of fabrics produced under treated and untreated research using the applied statistics to find the different relationships between the search variables The research revealed the preference of the sample treated with phycocyanin at a concentration (300mg/L) and under drying temperature (40C°), for a period of (1minute) in evaluating the overall quality of the samples under research.
