Preparing Delicate Cellulose Fabric by Utilizing Polyacrylamide Softener to Enhance Surface Smoothness and Quality Properties
Keywords:
Polyacrylamide, softener linkage with cellulose, Polyacrylamide application on fabrics, Fabric smoothness and softness properties.Abstract
Series dilutions of polyacrylamide softeners were made, applied at surfaces of cotton fabrics and cotton/polyester fabrics respectively. Surface adsorption of polyacrylamide based softeners enhanced all smoothness/softness properties of end substrate. Various formulations and concentration of acrylamide functional based softeners were studied by post treatment on cotton/polyester fabrics. Polyacrylamide functional softener fixation onto cotton/polyester fabrics was due to acrylamide groups, to improve reactivity with cellulose substrate thereby increasing cross linking and group formation by providing quality softness. The experimental data stipulate better substantives and networking of acrylamide functional group that can reveal formation of hydrophobic ?lm on surface of cotton fabrics and cotton/polyester fabrics. A tiny layer of applied polyacrylamide softeners also enhanced reduction of the surface roughness by increasing strength of polyacrylamide softener.
