Subject:
acetic anhydride; acetylation; catalysts; dyes; equipment; fabrics; formaldehyde; hardness; moieties; pigments; sodium acetate; sulfuric acid; temperature; textile fibers; zein
Abstract:
... The acetylation of zein fibers increased the water-resistance, improved the softness of the fiber by moderation of the severe formaldehyde post-cure, improved the boil-resistance, whitened the fiber by removal of pigments, and decreased the dye uptake. Acetylation was accomplished with acetic anhydride, with sodium acetate or sulfuric acid as catalyst. Acetyl contents of more than 5 percent were q ...

Abstract:
... This paper contains a discussion of the water-adsorption properties of a class of long-chain materials with many polar groups, which includes most textile fibers. The process discussed is distinguished from the adsorption by substances such as metal and metallic oxide catalysts in that it is not strictly a surface phenomenon, the adsorbent swelling as water is adsorbed. It differs from simple hydr ...

Abstract:
... Wrinkle resistance can be imparted to cotton fabrics with a diepoxide when certain coreactant curing agents are used. Such materials coreact to become a part of the finished product and introduce linkages and chemical groups which differ from those obtained when a true catalyst is used. Several coreactants including, for example. phthalic anhydride, citric acid, 1-aminoethyl-2-methyl-imidazoline, ...
