Abstract
AbstractA wool antifelting agent containing polyurethane modified with 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) was synthesized. Firstly an isocyanate (NCO) group ended prepolymer was gained by a hydrogen shift reaction between isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and poly (propylene oxide triol) (PPT), and then NCO‐group of the prepolymer was blocked by 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane to form a precursor PPT‐[Si(OEt)3]3. After that a sol of the precursor was prepared for an antifelting agent. During heating the sol gelled and formed inorganic–organic hybrid film that was characterized by using FTIR and TGA. And then the wool fabric samples were treated with sol by pad‐dry‐cure process at different curing temperature (120, 140, and 160°C). The antifelting effects of different curing temperatures were compared. The results indicated that the new agent could endow a better antifelting effect with the low curing temperature at 120°C and 3 min. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
