“…Then, the wetted cotton fibers were irradiated by an electron beam at room temperature under an N 2 atmosphere. More active groups on cotton cellulose chains could be initiated by the electron beam, such as at the positions of the 2,3 carbon atoms of the glucose ring and glycosidic bond . The monomer could graft onto these positions.…”

An N-halamine precursor monomer, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl acrylate (TMPA), was synthesized and successfully grafted onto cotton fibers via an impregnation process (IP) and electron-beam irradiation (EB). The grafted cotton fibers could provide antibacterial efficacy after chlorination through a dilute sodium hypochlorite solution. The antibacterial efficacy was challenged against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The cotton fibers grafted with TMPA and acrylic acid by EB inactivated all of the bacteria within 30 min of contact, whereas the samples grafted with TMPA via an IP could not completely kill the bacteria with 60 min. The breaking strength and UVA light stability also improved significantly. V C 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015, 132, 42023.

“…However, the specific properties conferred by siloxanes depend on the nature of organic functional groups that are incorporated in the polymer structure [71]. Moreover, water and oil repellency is required for protective clothes and is currently achieved by thermal polymerization of fluorinated monomers, which enable a strong increase of water and oil contact angles on the treated fabrics [72].…”

The modification of the surface energy of textile fibers to improve functional properties such as the wettability was reviewed. This modification can be achieved by physical or chemical methods or by the combination of both. Applications of plasma treatment to improve the wettability of natural and synthetic fibers were considered and some methods of wettability measurement were mentioned. Subsequently the methods aimed to confer water and oil repellency were discussed and the treatment by UV curing of fluorochemicals was explained in detail. Finally the sol-gel techniques useful to modify the surface properties of textiles were introduced and the results of water and oil repellency achievable by sol-gel were presented.

“…Szymanowski et al (2005) also used the EDX technique to investigate the elemental compositions of the titanium oxide coatings applied to cotton textiles. El-Naggar et al (2003) used an EDX unit to determine the atomic percentage of elements present on surface-coated fabrics. The EDX technique has also been successfully applied in archaeology.…”
