Properties of synthetic polyelectrolytes and prospects for their use for finishing of textile materials

Abstract

The review covers the literature concerning modification of textile material surfaces with synthetic polyelectrolytres and describes the nature of the polymers used and the character of their interaction with each other, with the fiber, and with the functional substance. The main lines of modern studies dealing with the use of synthetic polyelectrolytes for electrostatic self-assembly of nanolayers on the surface of textile materials and for microencapsulation of functional (aromatizing) substances on a textile material are considered.
