Description

The cotton fabrics treated with formaldehyde vapor show high wash and wear (W & W) properties, but poor tensile strength as compared with the resin treated fabrics. This property is expected to be improved by liquid ammonia pre-treatment before the treatment with formaldehyde vapor.<BR>In this study, from a practical viewpoint of formaldehyde vapor treatment of cotton fabrics, the microscopic and macroscopic strain relaxation along the cross sectional direction of cellulose fibers by the pre-treatment with liquid ammonia, sodium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide/liquid ammonia were examined in terms of crystallinity, crystalline transition (microscopic uniformity index), barium activity number (amorphous content index) and aspect ratio of cross section of a fiber (macroscopic index).<BR>It was found that all examined pre-treatments bring about considerable changes in fine structural properties, but the liquid ammonia pre-treatment is superior to the other two pre-treatments.<BR>This is due to the fact that the liquid ammonia pre-treatment brings about a uniform strain relaxation of cellulose fibers.
