“…Recently, the synthesis of environmental‐friendly textile finishing agents with multifunction has attracted particular enthusiasm in modern textile industries . Among the various kinds of purchasable textile finishing agents in the market, the waterborne latexes of fluoropolymers are superior due to the excellent water‐repellent finishing effects endowed by the special low surface energy of fluorochemicals . However, the textile products would lose their good soft handle feeling after the treatment using such fluoropolymer as finishing agents.…”

Fluorinated siloxane-acrylate polymer latex was synthesized via miniemulsion polymerization, which was carried out by pseudo one-step method. In the synthesis protocol, the monomers of octamethylclotetrasiloxane (D 4 ), tetravinyltetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D 4 v ), methyl methylacrylate, butyl acrylate, N-methylol acrylamide, and dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFMA) were first mixed and homogenized into a miniemulsion, which was stabilized by dedecybenzene sulfonic acid. The ring-opening polymerization of cyclosiloxane was then steadily performed under miniemulsion conditions and followed by the postaddition of radical initiators to initiate the polymerization of acrylate and DFMA monomers. The influences on the emulsion properties by acrylic monomer with different addition protocol were investigated in this work. In addition, the synthesized latexes were characterized by using dynamic laser scattering, transmission electron microscope, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. These results indicated that the introduction of D 4 v in the latex can successfully suppress the phase separation between the thermodynamically incompatible components for the formation of uniform hybrid latex particles. The further application of the as-synthesized latex was investigated as a new kind of waterborne textile finishing agent. Moreover, the influences of the content of D 4 v and DFMA on the finishing properties, especially for the softness, the water repellence, and the antimoisture properties, were systematically studied in this work. With a proper design on the content of the D 4 v and DFMA, stable textile finishing emulsion was prepared, which can endow the fabric both desirable softness and excellent water resistances.

Moisture management, as one of the key performance criteria in terms of fabric comfort, specifically on cotton fabrics intended for use in a hospital environment, was investigated in this paper. For this purpose, commercial cotton fabrics for surgical gowns and hospital linen were used, as well as standard cotton fabrics treated with various cationic antimicrobial protection agents. The antimicrobial properties were achieved by cationization with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride, or reactive polyammonium compounds Rewin OS; and by treatment with quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), N-cetylpyridinium chloride (N-CPC) and cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB), which act as surfactants and antiseptics. Standard cotton fabric has excellent hydrophilicity, fast absorption and spreading, large spreading area and good one-way transport. It is characterized as Moisture management fabric. Hospital white linen fabric has a water repellent finish; however, it is breathable and can be characterized as a Water penetration fabric. Hospital green fabric for gowns and instrument covers, due to dyestuff blocking the active groups have smaller absorption, and is characterized as Fast absorbing and quick drying fabric. Cotton fabrics have negative zeta potential. Cationization change surface charge, as well as antimicrobial activity. In MMT both cationized cotton fabrics are characterized as Fast absorbing and quick drying fabric, as they have fast wetting, absorption and spreading, a large spreading area, but poor one-way transport. For the QAC treated fabrics this effect is more enhanced. However, these fabrics have excellent antimicrobial activity even after desorption. Based on the results of wetting and wicking, zeta potential and antimicrobial activity, CPB treatment is proposed for the processing of cotton fabrics.

“…Fluorochemical finishes are the most widely used repellent agents for textile processing and both natural and synthetic fibers can be treated [5,6]. Fluorocarbons are unique, for they can repel water as well as oils because of their very low surface energy (γC~15 dynes/ cm or less) [7].…”
