Abstract
Cotton cellulose fabrics containing quaternary ammonium hydroxide groups at three levels of substitution were prepared directly from reaction of print cloth with 3-chloro- 2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride or with glycidyltrimethylammonium chlo ride. The reactions involved sodium hydroxide solutions of mecerizing strength. The chemically-modified fabrics were characterized for primary physical performance proper ties and for self-catalyzed reactions with divinyl sulfone and bis-(2-hydroxyethyl) sul fone. The results extend information already reported for unmercerized cotton cellulose containing quaternary ammonium hydroxide groups generated by quaternization of 2-diethylaminoethyl substituents. The nature of the quaternary ammonium substituent and the mercerized or unmercerized state of the cotton fibers are shown to have a bearing on the efficiency of this self-catalyzed reaction and on the wrinkle recovery angles and other properties developed in the products.
