Abstract
In this work, composites were made by improved bonding of the cationized cellulosic fabric and some anionic matrix like Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC). Mercerized cotton fabric was cationized using cationization agent, TEXAMIN ECE with varying percentage from 1 to 10%. Those cationized cotton samples were incorporated in anionic matrices and the resultant composites were tested for mechanical properties on Universal Textile Tensile Testing machine. In the case of CMC as the matrix for the cationized reinforcement, the increasing trend in the tensile strength and elongation at break was observed. Scanning Electron Microscope images showed no extraordinary changes in the physical appearance of the cationized samples. Thermograms derived from Differential Scanning Calorimetry were informative for the evaluation of the thermal behavior of composites.
