Graft copolymerization of acrylate monomers onto sulfonated jute–cotton blended fabric

AbstractGraft copolymerization of acrylate monomers, e.g., methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate, onto bleached sulfonated jute–cotton‐blended fabric was carried out in an aqueous medium, using potassium persulfate as an initiator under the catalytic influence of ferrous sulfate in a nitrogen atmosphere. The parameter variables, e.g., concentrations of monomer, potassium persulfate, ferrous sulfate, reaction time, and reaction temperature, directly influenced the percent graft yield. The percent graft yield increased to a certain value in each variable, and the percent graft yield of methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate was about 15.9 and 17.1%, respectively. Polymer grafting was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffractometry. Grafting improved the thermal stability, protected from photo‐oxidative degradation, decreased the dyeability, and had positive impact on fastness characteristics. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cotton Blend Fabrics from Polyester Core Yarns

Core spun yarns with a filament core and a cotton wrap were prepared and made into fabrics. The properties of these yarns and fabrics in comparison with all-cotton and intimate staple blend controls were investigated. This study included the dyeing of these fabrics and finishing for smooth drying and flame retardancy.

Polyacrylates in Flame Retardant Treatments of Textile Fabrics

Durable phosphorus-based flame retardants containing polyacrylate emul sions were applied to cotton, cotton-polyester, and cotton-wool twill fabrics to study the effect of the added polyacrylates on the physical properties and flame retardancy. The Thps-urea-TMM flame retardant with added polyacrylate im parted better overall physical properties to 100% cotton fabric than to cotton blend fabrics. Treatments containing polyacrylates with low glass transition temperatures produced fabrics with the highest abrasion resistance, tearing strength and wrinkle recovery. The flame retardancy of treated fabrics was not adversely affected by the addition of polyacrylates to the flame retardant treatments.

Low Wet Pick-Up Finishing: A Review of Commercial Experience'

This paper discusses the commercial implications of kiss-roll and foam-application methods for applying both thermosetting resin and hand-modifying chemicals to cotton and cotton blend fabrics. Both physical performance characteristics and aesthetic properties are discussed. The commercial implications on a practical, day-to-day, high-speed finishing range are compared with conventional dip-nip application techniques. The impact on color run and staining of white grounds of yarn-dyed fabrics are demonstrated. A brief discussion of economic considerations based on actual plant experience are also included.

The Monitoring of Dyebath Composition by Transmission Measurements

A preliminary investigation has been made of the concept of using transmission of solutions of diluted dyebaths as a means of monitoring the baths prior to use in bulk–dyeing processes. So far this has been done only by calculation, using the methods of computer match prediction, to establish a correlation between the colour of the diluted pad–Liquor in the application of Dispersol T and Procion T dyes to a polyester–cotton blend fabric by a pad–bake process, and the expected colour of a dyeing made from it. The correlation obtained suggests that the method justifies further development work, in circumstances specific to its intended use, as a means of checking that a prepared dyebath is suitable to produce a dyeing which is within specified tolerance limits.

Durable-Press, Wool/Cotton Blend, Double-Knitted Fabrics hrink-Resisted with Ozone

Treatment with dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU) reduces shrinkage in 70 30 and 50 50 wool cotton blend fabrics (a 74% reduction occurs in the latter), but an ozone pretreatment is necessary to confer an accetal le degree of shrink resistance to these fabrics. Ozone treatment of 100% cotton does not affect its laundering shrinkage, and the shrinkage resistance imparted to this fabric by DMDHEU is not altered by ozone pre or post treatment. Ozone treatment alone improves the durable-press (DP) properties of all fabrics, but creases are poor and fuzziness is high in all but the 100% cotton fabrics. DP properties are not improved by DMDHEU treatment alone in 100% wool fabric, but they are slightly improved in the 70/30 wool cotton, somewhat improved in the 50 50 wool cotton, and markedly improved with the 100% cotton fabric. With the 70/30 and 50/50 wool cotton fabrics there is marked improvement if the ozone and DMDHEU treatments are combined. Some improvement also occurs with 100% cotton. Ozone in creases the strength of 100% wool fabric and decreases the strength of DMDHEU treated 100% cotton. However, ozone does not significantly alter the strength of 100% cotton. However, ozone does not significantly alter the strength of 100% cotton (except with a long 150 s treatment) or the blend fabrics, whether or not they were treated with DMDHEU. Ozone increases the total reflectance (brightness) of fabrics increasingly with increased cotton content. DMDHEU increases the yellowness of the wool and wool blend fabrics due to HCHO release; the larger the percentage of wool in the blend, the greater the amount'of yellowing. The copper number of ozonated 100% cotton is 1.5, implying fission of some of the glucosidic inkages. Photomicrographs of the surface of ozone treated cotton fibers and Congo Red-stained fiber sections show that ozone reacts primarily at the fiber surface.

Recurability and Textile Properties of Postactivated Cotton and Blend Fabrics

Cotton and cotton-polyester blend fabrics were finished by a dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU)-glycolic acid-postactivation process to give fully-cured durable-press fabrics which could be given sharp, permanent creases by an ironing process. The resilience and strength-retention properties of these fabrics were equivalent to, or slightly better, than those of corresponding cotton or blend fabrics which had been finished by conventional durable-press processes. The postactivated blend fabrics accepted better creases at low temperatures than the corresponding cotton fabrics, but at the moderately higher temperatures required to form acceptable permanent creases, the creasabilities of the cotton and blend fabrics were almost equivalent. Unmodified blend fabrics and conventionally finished durable-press blend fabrics, either postactivated or not activated, accepted better permanent creases than the corresponding cotton fabrics, but none of these creases were acceptable.

Solvent Finishing of Cotton and Cotton-Polyester Blends Part II: Emulsions for Durable-Press Treatments

Cotton and cotton-polyester blend fabrics were treated with dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst from perchloroethylene-water emulsions. Commercially available emulsifiers, crosslinking reagents. softeners, and catalysts were used in emulsions applied by pad-dry-cure and pad-steam-cure techniques. Final fabric properties were comparable to those obtained from all-aqueous formulations.

Particulate Migration During Drying of Fabric Padded with Dyestuff Dispersions

A brief discussion was presented of the migration process involving particulate dyestuff dispersions on fabric. An equation was derived, based on some assumptions regarding the flow of the dye liquor through fabric capillaries, relating the migration of particulate dyestuff dispersions during drying of padded fabric to the total liquor pickup, the average dyestuff particle size, and the fiber surface area of the fabric. The derived equation was shown to apply to mea surements of actual migration of a commercial disperse dye on a 50 polyester/50 cotton blend fabric. The average dye stuff particle diameter calculated from migration measurements agreed with that determined by other methods. A simple laboratory procedure was described for inducing migration and for determining the percent migration.

Effect Of Strength On Cotton And Blended Mattress Fabric Produced By Mechanical Processing System

Mattress fabric is one time used fabric. It need not require for washing. In this perspective, a project was taken to replace 100% cotton mattress fabric instead of Jute-Cotton blended mattress fabric. It is seen that Jute: Cotton blended mattress fabric posses similar properties to the 100% cotton mattress fabric. Bursting strength is an important factor for mattress fabric. From the comparison result, it is also seen that the bursting strength of 80:20/Jute: Cotton blended mattress fabric is nearer to the 100% cotton mattress fabric. On the other hand, blended mattress fabric is cheaper than 100% Cotton mattress fabric. Hence, blended mattress fabric may be the replacement of 100% cotton mattress fabric.

Permanent Creasing of Cotton and Cotton Blend Fabrics

Permanent Creasing of Cotton and Cotton Blend Fabrics

ON THE ALKALINE RESISTANCE OF CROSS-LINKED SUPER PAYON

Cross-linking of a regenerated cellulose fiber is useful for increasing properties especially under wet or alkaline conditions, but it brings such defects as poor dyability, knot strength, toughness.For prevention against these defects, the super rayon which has a high knot strength and toughness was cross-linked by the dialdehyde.Obtained fiber has a large resistance to water- and alkali-swelling comparable to cotton and a good mechanical properties. The poor dyability is improved by alkaline treatment without spoiling other properties as the cross-linked fiber.Thus the cross-linked super rayon is to be durable to the mercerization at the 100% rayon or cotton-blended fabrics and exhibits a suitable draping property.
