Abstract
In this paper, 1,2,3,4-butane tetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) were applied to modified tussah silk fabric to obtain good wrinkle resistant property. Tussah silk fabric was treated with a pad-dry-cure method with a liquor of 90% pick up. The wrinkle recovery property, whiteness and mechanical properties of the tussah silk fabric were measured and analysized. The finishing agents BTCA in the presence of catalyst of sodium monophosphate (SHP) as well as the treatment conditions significantly affected the anti-wrinkle effects of treated tussah silk fabrics. All the treated fabric samples showed increased wrinkle resistant property, retention rate of breaking strength and whiteness. The results indicated that BTCA has a bright future in treatmet of silk anti-wrinkle modification.
