“…Cationization, an alternative method to improve adsorption of dyes and anionic auxiliaries, leads to even higher adsorption. Since the cationization process reduces or even eliminates the electrolyte in the dyeing process, many authors refer to it as salt-free or low-salt dyeing [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ].…”

“…Since the 1990s, cationic compounds have been investigated to make better exhaustion of anionic dyes (direct and reactive dyes in most cases, acid and metal-complex dyes in some cases, vat dyes in only a few cases) in dyeing and printing [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Because of its environmental benefits (low-salt dyeing), cationization is intensively researched, as confirmed by nearly 800 published articles and three review articles on cationic agents and techniques in the last decade [ 29 , 30 , 31 ]. As for as cationic agents are concerned, the application of epihalohydrins, 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (EPTAC), also known as glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTA), and 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC) still gives the best results with a process time of 24 h. Regarding the techniques of cationization, the pad-batch, exhaustion, pad-steam, and pad-dry-cure (pad-bake) after-treatment techniques were listed in these review articles, but cationization during mercerization was not [ 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

Trichromatic Vat Dyeing of Cationized Cotton

This article deals with cationization of cotton during mercerization and its effects on trichromatic vat dyeing. If cationization is carried out during the after-treatment, regardless of cotton pretreatment, the reaction takes place on the surface and blocks cellulose groups, subsequently resulting in uneven coloration. However, when cationization is carried out with an epihalohydrin during the mercerization process, new cellulose is formed in which the cationic compound is uniformly distributed and trapped between cellulose chains, resulting in uniform coloration after the dyeing process. The reaction time for the process during mercerization is 24 h, thus a more favorable process was researched. Based on electrokinetic analysis, it was found that 5 h was sufficient for the reaction with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC). The cationization of cotton contributed to the processes of vat dyeing. The change in charge upon cationization resulted in very high adsorption of vat-dye anions, indicating that ionic bonding occurred in addition to van der Waals forces. The color depth improved by more than 10 times. It should be emphasized that the colors with higher chroma and targeted color hue, especially in trichromatic dyeing, were obtained on cationized cotton, in contrast to standard cotton fabrics. The color differences obtained under the different light sources indicate the occurrence of metamerism. Considering the color fastness to laundering, vat-dyed cationized fabrics of all colors may be used in hospitals or other environments where high hygiene and oxidative bleaching are required.

Surface functionalization of greige cotton knitted fabric through plasma and cationization for dyeing with reactive and acid dyes

Dyeing cotton fabrics with anionic dyes produces high e uent loads and requires a considerable amount of water and energy due to the electrostatic repulsion with cellulose. Therefore, several approaches have been researched to increase the e cacy of cotton dyeing. One is the cationization, which adds cationic sites to the cellulose. Another is the treatment of the cotton surface with plasma. In this paper, the combination of both techniques was investigated. Two commercially available cationic agents were used: 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC) and poly[bis(2-chloroethyl) etheralt-1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea] quaternized, a novel cationic agent also known as Polyquaternium2 (P42). The plasma treatment was performed using a dielectric barrier discharge atmospheric plasma facility, helium was used as seed gas and 1.5 % of oxygen was injected. The cationization and plasma treatment were performed on greige cotton fabric, an innovative and sustainable approach that eliminates conventional scouring and bleaching processes. The cationic and plasma treated samples were dyed using Reactive Red 195 and Acid Blue 260 dyes. The effect of the treatments was evaluated by different characterization techniques such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The plasma treatment slightly increased the light fastness for some samples, but the cationization tends to prevail over the plasma treatment. The best results were attributed to the samples pretreated by CHPTAC, which presented the highest K/S and lowest unlevelness for samples dyed with reactive and acid dyes. CHPTAC is the most common cationic agent for textiles, but its industrial use is limited due to safety criticisms. The combination between plasma and P42 resulted in the same color strength as the conventional reactive dyeing. Therefore, this approach offers a safer alternative to the conventional cationization process.

Cotton fibers have a high crystallinity, which makes a large number of reactive hydroxyl groups blocked and therefore affects the ink-jet printing performance of reactive dyes on cotton fabrics. In this work, the alkali treatment was employed to adjust the structure of cotton fibers. The crystallinity of treated cotton fibers reduced from 73.9–58.5%, and the breaking strength did not decrease compared with original cotton fiber. Thus, the accessible reactive hydroxyl groups and the wettability were enhanced for treated cotton fibers, which promoted the penetration of inks into the fibers. The optimal K/S value of 23.47 was achieved for treated cotton fabrics which was higher than that of untreated cotton fabrics (17.15). Meanwhile, the printed fabrics displayed good washing fastness, rubbing fastness and glossiness. This work provides an effective way for improving the utilization of dye solution and producing high-quality cotton fabric digital printing products.
