Evaluation of Wrinkle Recovery Angle & Color Fastness Properties of Ionic Crosslinked Hospital Green Vat Dyed Cotton Fabric

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cellulose cross linking is a very important textile process and has application in the crease resistant finished textile products. N-methylol cross linkers give fabrics desirable mechanical stability properties, but also reduces strength and release formaldehyde, a known human carcinogenic. Our work is based on reactions of particularly hospital green vat dyed cellulose with materials that creates an ionic character to the cellulose. These reactions produce ionic cellulose that can react with a poly ionic material of opposite charge to form cross links. The ionic content of the fabric and various features of the application procedure were varied to optimize the results.
