Non-Formaldehyde Wrinkle Resistant Finish for Linen

ABSTRACT

Linen, even though it has a beautiful drape, is highly susceptible to wrinkles, especially under high humidity. A study was conducted to develop a wrinkle-resistant finish using a combination of three carboxylic acids at various pΗ and concentrations on linen fabric. The treated fabric was analyzed to determine the effect on wrinkle recovery angle, wrinkle recovery appearance rating, and carboxyl group content. The amount of finish application on the fabric was governed by percent weight gain of treated samples, carboxyl ‘n’ group content, wrinkle recovery angle, and wrinkle recovery appearance rating. Furthermore, a reduction in the availability of free OH groups in the linen cellulosic chains was studied using FTIR spectroscopic analysis to qualitatively analyze the attachment of acid groups to the monomers of the fiber polymeric chain. The results showed significant wrinkle resistance for treated samples.

摘要

亚麻布虽然有漂亮的褶皱, 但很容易起皱, 特别是在高湿度下. 在亚麻织物上进行了一项研究, 在不同的pΗ和浓度下, 使用三种羧酸的组合开发一种抗皱整理剂. 对处理过的织物进行分析, 以确定对折皱回复角, 折皱回复外观等级和羧基含量的影响. 织物上的整理用量取决于处理样品的增重百分比, 羧基“n”含量, 折皱回复角和折皱回复外观等级. 此外, 还利用FTIR光谱分析研究了亚麻纤维链中游离OH基团可用性的降低, 以定性分析酸性基团附着到纤维聚合物链单体上的情况. 结果表明, 经处理的样品具有显著的抗皱性.
