A Novel Durable Stiffness Finishing of Cotton Fabric

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, poly (vinylalcohol glycidyl ether) (PVAGE) was synthesized as a novel reactive stiffening agent to improve the stiffness of cotton fabric. Cotton fabric could be grafted with PVAGE under high temperature and the grafting rate would increase with the increase of PVAGE concentration. The cotton fabric grafted with PVAGE has excellent washing durability. The wearability of cotton fabric grafted with PVAGE was also studied. As the increase of grafting rate, the flexural stiffness increased dramaticly; tensile strength increased a little; cockle elastic decreased slightly; and air permeability and whiteness also decreased but were still in acceptable range.
