Abstract

The detergency of oily soil was studied from the viewpoint of control of textile/oil/water interface. In this review, the wetting of textile assemblies is chiefly discussed to study the sur-face free energies. It was made clear that such information can be obtained by (1) the exact consideration of geometrical structure of textile surface, and/or (2) the comparison of the results of other surface analyses, such as FT-IR, ESCA and so on, of the fabrics with those of flat films of same substrates whose surface free energies are known. The role of the control of textile surface on the removal, using for an example the soil-release finishing, is also discussed in terms of work of adhesion.
