“…The increase in curing time increased the crease recovery angle due to the formation of more esterification of cellulose and the Figure 5 shows its contribution is minimum when compared to silica nanoparticles and pH. improves the strength of the fabric 27 . Hence, the higher concentration of nano metal oxides results increases the strength of the cotton fabric and it is shown in Figure 7 The increase of curing time reduced the tensile strength of fabric due to more esterification (acid dehydration at high temperatures and high curing time) and cross linking, when it was treated with BTCA/SHP.…”

“…Therefore, yellowing caused by citric acid and other hydroxyl multi functional carboxylic acids can probably be attributed to the formation of unsaturated polycarboxylic acids 26 . High acidity of chemicals is a source of causing fabric tendering and yellowing 27 , hence the pH increases the acidity level reduces and the whiteness of the fabric has been increased and it is shown in Figure 6. The increase in curing time and silica nanoparticles concentration gradually reduces the whiteness index of the fabric.…”

Silica nanoparticles particles were synthesized from rice hulls and characterized. The particles were found to be amorphous in nature, ranging in size from 50 to 100 nm. The concentration of silica nanoparticles, pH and curing time were taken as independent variables to design the experiment. Box-Behnken method has been used to derive the experimental plan and fifteen experiments were conducted. Regression equations have been formed with the dependent and independent variables and the results of all possible combinations have been derived. The combination of optimized concentration of BTCA and SHP were used as crosslinking agent and catalyst respectively and silica nano particles were used to enhance the physical properties of the cotton fabric. The effect of pH and curing time on physical properties were analysed by FTIR studies. By ranking method the best combination of process parameters were identified. From this study, it was observed that higher concentration of silica nanoparticles with BTCA improve the crease recovery angle and tensile strength. FTIR studies revealed that the increase of pH and curing time increases the ester carbonyl band intensity ratio.

“…This is due to the fact that crosslinkers react with the hydroxyl groups in cellulose molecules with primary chemical bonds (Lam et al 2010;Trask-Morrell et al 1994;Sricharussin et al 2004;Dehadabi 2012;Peng 2012). Previous studies have shown that the crosslinking agents can interact with nanoparticles of titanium dioxide to improve the adhesion between cellulose molecules, but these carboxylic acids need to have at least two free carboxylic groups to be able to bind to both cotton and TiO 2 (Montazer et al 2012;Karimi et al 2010).…”

Monllorpérez, P.; Gisbert Paya, J.; Díaz-García, P.; I. Montava; Montava Seguí, IJ. (2015). A comparison between acrilic resin and butanetetracarcoxylic acid used to bind TiO2 nanoparticles to cotton fabrics. Cellulose. 22 (2) ABSTRACTIn order to apply finishing particles onto fabrics, several methods such as, padding, bath exhaustion, spraying and foaming can be used. In this research, spray treatment is compared to padding when applying TiO 2 nanoparticles onto textile. Cotton fabrics´ surfaces were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and characterized by Fourier Transformed Infra Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy and energy dispersive using X-Ray (EDX). EDX technique showed that it was a suitable method to detect the presence of Ti particles on the fabric surface. We confirm that the fabric treated by padding procedure contained a higher quantity of Ti particles than the one treated by spraying. On the other hand, we compared two different auxiliary products to bind the particles onto the fibers, an acrylic resin and the polycarboxilic acid 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) in the presence of sodium hypophosphite (SHP). We used EDX to evaluate the effectiveness of both binders after washing . We improved the presence of TiO 2 particles on the fibers when using an acrylic resin, and observed that when BTCA, is used to fix the particles, there was no increase in the quantity of titanium on the fabric after 5 washing cycles compared to the sample without binder treatement.

“…1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA), citric acid (CA), succinic acid (SUA), and malic acid (MLA) (Figure 1) are the most conventional polycarboxylic acid used as durable press finishing agents. Yellowing of fabric, deterioration of tensile strength, and also relative expensive cost of the reagents are the common drawbacks in finishing of cotton with polycarboxylic acids (Bhattacharyya, Doshi, & Sahasrabudhe, 2003;Chen, Yang, & Qiu, 2005;Lam, Kan, & Yuen, 2011;Martel, Morcellet, Ruffin, & Weltrowski, 2000;Martel, Weltrowski, Ruffin, & Morcellet, 2002;Sircharussin, Ryo-Aree, Intasen, & Poungraksakirt, 2004;Welch, 2001;Yang & Wang, 1996;Yang, Wang, & Kang, 1997). These disadvantages may be solved using polyamino carboxylic acids (PACAs).…”

Polyamino carboxylic acids (PACAs) were used as novel finishing agents to create easy care and biostatic properties of cotton fabric. PACAs were synthesized by carboxylation of polyvinylamine with bromoacetic acid and 3-bromopropionic acid. The easy care effect was evaluated by measuring the wrinkle recovery angle and biostatic effect was estimated by the Formazan test. It was found that using PACAs create wrinkle resistant and biostatic cotton. Both properties were durable to multiple laundry wash. The impact of this finishing agent on the physical properties of the cotton was studied by evaluating the tensile strength and whiteness index of the finished cotton. The results showed that the use of PACAs as finishing agent did not make a considerable change on the physical properties of cotton.
