This paper presents an investigation of modified glyoxalic (DMDHEU) and co-polymer acrylic resins effect on the crystallinity and crystallite Size of finished cotton. Using a modern technical analysis, ATR-FTIR and X-ray diffraction, is very significant to describe structural modification of cellulose fiber treated with two types of resins. Investigation of the effect of used resins at various finishing conditions (curing temperature, curing time, drying temperature, drying time and resins concentration) on crystallinity and crystallite size of finished cotton can explain the phenomena encountered during this kind of treatment. The obtained results show the pronounced influence of treatment conditions (higher curing) that reduce the crystallinity and crystallite size of treated cotton.
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.
