The TG/DTG analysis of the raw cotton-flax fabric (40% flax-60% cotton), bioscoured samples with/without ultrasonication (in the presence of different enzyme concentration and action time) and of the alkaline treated sample has been achieved aiming to study the influence of the experimental conditions on the pectin elimination and quantifying the efficiency of the eco-friendly process. TG/DTG results were correlated with FT-IR data. Even at a short action enzyme time the results demonstrate the efficacy of the ultrasonication in the ecofriendly scouring process, which becomes more pronounced as the enzyme concentration and action time increases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
