“…The decrease of the fabric strength (both tear and strip strengths) and the abrasion resistance is attributed to the fact that the establishment of crosslinks between the cellulosic chains reduces the chains' slippage and their flexibility 1. The crosslinking also leads to the stiffening of the cellulosic macromolecular network and fiber embrittlement 12–14…”

Two cotton fabrics were treated with increasing amounts of a textile-finishing agent (1,3-dimethyl-4,5-dihydroxy-2-imidazolidinone) to impart durable press properties. The Universal Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (UATR-FTIR) with a ZnSe-Diamond composite crystal was used to determine the amount of the crosslinking agent effectively linked to the cellulose after the required laundering cycles. Textile performance testing conducted on treated and untreated fabrics demonstrated the effectiveness of the treatment applied. The results obtained showed very good correlation between AATCC grading, automatic image analysis of fabric smoothness, textile performance testing, and the amount of finish as evaluated by the UATR-FTIR. The ZnSe-Diamond composite FTIR accessory was proven to be a fast and precise nondestructive technique to evaluate the amount of the crosslinking agent linked to the cellulose macromolecules.

“…Crosslinking between cellulose molecules causes stiffening of the macromolecular network and fiber embrittlement, thus reducing the mechanical strength of the treated cotton [ 1,6,10 ] . In addition, acid-catalyzed depolymerization of cellulose molecules reduces the tensile strength of the fabrics treated with acidic solutions [ 4 ].…”

Durable press finishing processes are commonly used in the textile industry to pro duce wrinkle-free cotton fabrics and garments. Crosslinking cellulose increases wrinkle resistance and reduces the mechanical strength of treated cotton fabric. Wrinkle recov ery angle (WRA) and tensile strength are the two most important parameters frequently used for evaluating the performance of crosslinked cottons. In this study, we investigate the correlation between WRA and tensile strength, and determine the amount of cross linking agent bonded to the cotton using FRIR spectroscopy. The crosslinking agents include dimethyloldihydroxylethyleneurea, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid, and glutaraldehyde. We develop linear regression models to investigate the relationship between the WRA and tensile strength of the treated cotton and the carbonyl band absorbance in the infrared spectra. The data indicate that FTIR spectroscopy is a reliable technique for predicting the performance of durable press finished cotton fabrics when calibration standards are established.

“…The poor wrinkle recovery of cotton fabrics has been shown, by extensive studies of woven fabrics [4,11,17], to be, to a large extent, attributable to the poor elastic recovery of the cotton fibers, which is caused by the rheological f l o~ in the fiber under strain [lo]. This flow can be reduced by cross-linking with resins [S], but is increased by the presence of moisture [9].…”

The wrinkle-recovery behavior of 100% cotton fabrics, untreated and cross-linked with dimethyloldihydroxyethylene-urea, has been studied over a range of moisture content and a recent hypothesis involving actual and potential recovery has been applied to explain the results. An explanation is also offered for the existence of a maximal wrinkle-recovery value at moisture contents equal to that during cross-linking.
