Use of the synthesized aqueous polyurethane acrylate (no volatile organic compound emission) binders 1-7, in pigment printing of cotton fabrics using silk screen technique. FT-IR spectra of binders via UV curing show the disappearance of ast C=C and δ: =C-H absorption bands from the spectra chart of cured, which proofed the occurrence of cross lin king reaction via terminal free acry late double bond. Co lor strength of printed fabrics depends on binders' type and concentration as well as the fixat ion temperature. The K/S values at lo wer fixat ion temperatures on using the prepared binders in the printing paste are better than the K/S of fabric printed with paste including the commercial binder at the same condition ( saving energy& money). The fastness properties of the printed samples depend on the type of binder used. The washing and perspiration ranged fro m good to excellent for all printed samp les. Slightly enhancement in K/S values of printed cotton fabric with increase the concentration of aliphatic polyurethane acrylate binders was noticed. The presence of 1% concentration of polyurethane acrylate binders (1-7) in the cotton pigment printing paste, and either UV curing or microwave cured for 3 min. could be considered as optimu m conditions. Improved rubbing fastness results for all the printed samples using the synthesized polyurethane acrylate binders in printed paste and UV cured are noticed as compared to those obtained by the traditional thermal cu ring technique. The results show that these binders can be used safely in preparing printing paste for printing cotton fabrics using pigment dyes.
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.
