Optimization of the hot alkali treatment of polyester/cotton fabric with sodium hydrosulfite

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The treatment of cotton or polyester fabric in alkali media is a common modification process for producing a fabric with desirable qualities. Alkali treatment of polyester/cotton fabric could produce a fabric with better performance. In this research, polyester/cotton fabric was treated with NaOH at different temperatures and times. The results show that alkali treatment at the optimum temperature and time with NaOH could hydrolyze the polyester fiber surface and remove some of the impurities from the… Show more

“…It is necessary to create some functional groups on the polyester polymeric chains. Also, chemical surface modification such as alkali hydrolysis increases the functionality of polyester fibers by introducing hydroxyl and, particularly, carboxylic groups onto the surface of fabric imparting new specifications to the fabric, such as better binding to nano‐TiO 2 particles 40–45…”

“…The caustic soda hydrolyzed the polymer chain by generating hydroxyl and carboxyl acid groups. These polar groups attached the nano seeds which are pre-requisite for the growth of nanoparticles [29][30][31]. Due to hydrolysis of chains, oligomers are formed which appear as small particles on the surface of fibers (Figure 2(B)) but no such particles were observed on untreated fabric (Figure 2(A)).…”

“…Fabric used to be treated with high-concentration caustic soda without tension to achieve excellent physical and dyeing properties [11,12]. Mercerisation at high temperature is now a well-established method [13]. e penetration of caustic soda into the bre structure is more rapid [14], which ensures more uniform treatment but less swelling [8].…”
