Impact of polycarboxylic acid treatments on physico-mechanical properties of cotton fabric
Polymer Bulletin(2024)
Abstract
In this reported work, bioscoured and bleached cotton fabrics were treated with three different polycarboxylic acids, i.e., malic acid, citric acid, and 1,2,3,4-butane tetracarboxylic acids. The presence of carboxylic acids on the fabric surface as well as the changes in the crystalinity index was determined by Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The carboxylic acids treated fabrics were analyzed for their physico-mechanical as well as comfort properties such as tensile strength, elongation, stiffness, air permeability, abrasion resistance, drape, water absorption, and wicking. The results inferred that the polycarboxylic acid-treated cotton showed improved drapability, wrinkle recovery, and strength up to 7
