Abstract :Acrylic coating is applied to fabrics in order to improve their aesthetic properties as well as their physical performance. In this study, the effects of the acrylic coating process applied to woven fabrics with different structural parameters on various surface (roughness and friction coefficient) and physical performance (permeability and handle) properties of the fabrics were investigated. From the results obtained, a general decrease in the surface roughness parameters and friction coefficients of the fabrics was observed after the acrylic coating process, and these reduction rates were affected by the weave structure of the base fabric and the fabric\\\'s structural parameters. A decrease in air permeability, water vapor permeability, and thermal resistance values of acrylic-coated fabrics was observed; in addition, in terms of handle properties, the bending rigidity values increased, and crease recovery angle values decreased.As a result of this study, it was observed that the fabric surfaces after the acrylic coating gained smoother and lower friction coefficient properties, and by taking into account other physical performance properties such as permeability and handle properties of fabrics after coating, it could contribute to the determination of fabric structural parameters to be taken into consideration in the selection of the base fabric to be coated for the desired area of use.
