Abstract:The application of sodium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide containing urea solutions has been utilized for regenerated-cellulosic material activation. The treatments resulted in the reorganization of cellulose fibers, hence accessibility and reactivity. In this study, sodium hydroxide-urea solutions were applied to lyocell and viscose-knitted fabrics as finishing treatment to improve the accessibility and physical properties of textiles. Besides the mixtures, different concentrations of sole sodium hydroxide and… Show more
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.
