This experiment is to research the chemical compositions of the crosslink of the woolen, oxidized with H 2 O 2 of various concentrations and temperatures, cured with the citric acid and TiO 2 /chitosan liquid of different proportions, and then observed by means of Fourier Transfer Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR), Scanning Electronic Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS), and Thermo-Gravity Analyzer (TGA). Its antishrinkage, antimicrobes, antiultraviolet, strength, elasticity, softness, and yellowness are also investigated to study the changes in its physical properties. From the result, we can see, under the SEM, the sign of disappearance of woolen scales owing to the destruction by H 2 O 2 oxidization; the more H 2 O 2 and its oxidization temperature, the more serious their destruction. The phenomenon of crosslink is not obvious after oxidization and curing treatment with TiO 2 /chitosan, but it somehow apparently happens to the woolen surface. Because TiO 2 /chitosan does not intertwine with the woolen well, which has few effects of heat, the woolen shrinks less with more H 2 O 2 and oxidization temperatures. Its antishrinkage is better. But the more wash, the more shrinkage. However, TiO 2 covered with chitosan catches less sunlight, and thus cannot suppress or even kill microbes. The woolen processed with nanometer TiO 2 enhances the effect of antiultraviolet, which is better as the density of TiO 2 increases. The strength and elasticity of the woolen are worse for more H 2 O 2 and the higher temperature destroy scales and make the woolen coarse, yellow,and less soft.
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.
