Abstract

To improve the properties of polyester fabric, the oktakis (tetra-methyl-ammonium)-T8-silisesquioxane (TMA-POSS) is applied to modify polyester fabric. TMA-POSS is synthesized by using tetraethyl orthosilicate and tetramethylammonium hydroxide and the structure of TMA-POSS is characterized by FT-IR spectra and the particle size distribution of TMA-POSS is measured by a size analyzer. Antistatic property, wetting property and dyeing performances of the modified polyester fabric are investigated. The results indicate that when the TMA-POSS concentration is larger than 4% (o.w.f.), the wetting angle reached up to 0; the peak voltage, attenuation cycle and capillary value are 1283.0 V, 16.0cm and 3.9s respectively.
