Optimization of Ionic Crosslinking Process: An Alternative to Conventional Durable Press Finishing

Abstract: Cotton fiber has a natural tendency to wrinkle. In order to overcome this undesired property several durable press finishes were proposed and have been used for a long while. However, most of these chemical finishes release formaldehyde, a suspected human carcinogen, which causes fabric to lose strength and to yellow. Non-formaldehyde alternatives to these finishes are expensive. Thus, a non-formaldehyde finish prepared by using common and more available chemicals is required. In this study, we prepared anioni… Show more

“…The step of producing anionic cellulose and cationization of glycerine was adopted from previous research [15] keeping the concentration of sodium salt of chloroacetic acid same with the varying concentration of glycerine that has to be cationised. Process parameters were kept same throughout the whole process.…”

“…The three basic steps of the formation of crosslinks are: (i) the impregnating of resins (emulsion form) in cotton fibres; (ii) drying; and (iii) curing to enable condensation to occur, with the formation of crosslinking. However, conventional durable press finishing processes with resins and reactants involve the use of formaldehyde or formaldehyde precursors (such as dimethyl dihydroxy ethylene urea (DMDHEU), dihydroxy dimethyl imidazolidinone (DHDMI) and a polycarboxylic acid) which are carcinogenic (Sahin et al, 2009). Therefore, Sahin et al (2009) proposed a formaldehyde-free durable press finishing process that used ionic crosslinking on cotton fabrics and showed beneficial effects on dimensional stability.…”

“…The multifunctional cross-linking agents reacts with the hydroxyl groups of the nearby cellulose molecules, thereby hindering the swelling of the cellulose fibre. 21,22 The work reported in the literature is about using fluorocarbon and developing water and oil-repellent fabrics. In the present work, apart from water and OR, shrink resistance and quick dry behaviour of cotton textile has also been established objectively using same fluorocarbon because of hydrophobicity imparted to cotton.…”
