The article illustrates the impact of the silica sol modifier, Zinc acetate dehydrate compound concentration and its interaction with the sol-gel technological parameters consolidation time and temperature on the eco-cotton/polyamide (81/19) socks wettability. The obtained water contact angle of modified samples varies in a range from 108 to 129o in comparison with the unmodified control sample sorption angle 6050o at the end of the test, that matches the angles range of a low surface wettability (90o<0<180o).

Keywords
