Abstract
The work in this thesis aimed to study the feasibility of
using terpolymer emulsion based on glycidyl methacrylate,
butyl acrylate and styrene as crosslinking agent for cotton
fabric. Superior properties such as antimicrobial, ultraviolet
protection and pronounced dye uptake could be added to
cotton fabric via using finishing bath containing chitosan as
biopolymer and the suggested terpolymer emulsion latex.
The data of the work is summarized in three main parts:-
1- The optimum conditions for cotton finishing
with finishing bath containing chitosan and the
terpolymer emulsion.
a- Increasing the alkali concentration used for the
pretreatment of cotton fabric before the finishing
process is significantly increases the fabric
performance such as N%, add-on, tensile strength
(TS), elongation at break (E%), abrasion resistance
(AR) and air permeability while the fabric stiffness
increases.
b- Addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the
finishing bath formulation is accompanied by
improving the fabric stiffness. Increasing PEG.
