BTCA를 이용한 텐셀의 Non-Fibrillation 효과

Abstract

The research on cross-linking of Tencel with BTCA (1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid) which does not release formaldehyde has been widely pursued to meet increasing consumer's demand for environmental conservation and clean, brilliant surface of textiles. The purpose of this study is to control the fibrillation of Tencel by using BTCA and MgCl2 that do not cause water pollution. Formation of ester groups suggesting increase in cross-linked portions was observed in the FT-IR spectra. Tencel treated with BTCA maintained the non-fibrillation effect even after 20 laundering cycles, as could be seen in the SEM and UV-Vis spectrophotometer data.
