The water‐soluble N‐(2‐hydroxy)propyl‐3‐trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC) was prepared by chitosan and glycidyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopic analysis spectrum confirmed that glycidyl trimethyl ammonium chloride was grafted to the amino groups of chitosan via substitution reaction (Zhao et al., Int J Pharm 2010, 393, 268; Montazer and Afjeh, J Appl Polym Sci 2007, 103, 178). The obtained chitosan derivative was used to modify cotton fabrics for improving aqueous pigment‐based inkjet printing and antibacterial properties. Scanning electron microscope images showed that HTCC was adhered onto the cotton fabrics surface and formed film structure. The K/S value on printed cotton substrates increased from 3.20 to 4.87, which indicated that higher color yield was achieved in this way. Modified samples performed better crocking fastness and laundering fastness than the control cotton fabrics. The line definition of modified cotton fabrics respectively, improved 16.5% and 12.6% in the warp and weft direction as the specified line width was 0.5 × 103 μm. Samples also showed good antibacterial potential, the inhibitory rate for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were both more than 95% when the concentration of HTCC used in the pretreatment solution was 0.8%. The antibacterial effect was found to be durable for 20 laundering cycles. However, the hand feeling of modified cotton fabrics presented a slight decrease. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In order to make up for the lack of washing fastness and chlorinated water fastness of nylon dyed with acid dyes, an aminosiloxane modified cationic waterborne polyurethane (KWPU) with the ability to reversibly adsorb chloride ions was synthesized. N‐methyldiethanolamine and ethylenediamine was used as chain extender. N‐aminoethyl‐γ‐aminopropyltrimethoxysilane was used to block the remaining isocyanate groups and provide secondary amine groups for reversible adsorption of chloride ions. The structure of KWPU was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), 1H NMR, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Particle size and zeta potential were tested to evaluate the emulsion stability. The research results showed that when the N‐methyl diethanolamine content was 14%, the water absorption rate of KWPU film was 82.1%, and when the KH‐792 content was 6%, the water absorption rate of KWPU was 34.8%. The addition of siloxane can significantly improve the thermal resistance of the KWPU film. The color fastness of the dyed nylon fabric treated with KWPU emulsion was significantly improved, the rubbing fastness was improved by 0.5 or 1 grade, the washing fastness was improved by 1 grade, and the fastness to chlorinated water was improved by 1.5 or 2 grade.
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.
