Alkali Resistance of a soybean/casein/polyvinyl Alcohol Blend Fiber

Abstract:

The soybean/casein/polyvinyl alcohol blend fiber was treated in sodium carbonate solutions to evaluate its alkali resistance which was very important for wet processing. The weight loss and whiteness of the treated fibers were examined. UV spectra of the alkaline treatment solutions were analyzed. The study showed that the fiber exhibited poor alkali resistance. Treating temperature, time and alkali concentration affected the weight loss of the treated fibers. A high weight loss was found even at low alkali concentration. The weight loss was primarily due to the hydrolysis of casein.
