“…In the pretreatment process, the fabric was bleached in an H 2 O 2 bath, immersed in an NaOH solution, then neutralized with diluted HCl, washed with double-distilled water, and then dried at 608C in vacuo. 50 A hydrophilic polysaccharide, sodium alginate (SA; viscosity 5 0.02 Pa s in a 1% aqueous solution at 208C; Aladdin Chemistry Co., Ltd.), was used as a stabilizing agent, and a reactive organic/inorganic binder in combination with CaCO 3 was used to form hybrid particles. Anhydrous CaCl 2 (Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) and anhydrous Na 2 CO 3 (Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) were used as reactants.…”
