    Notes: Oil sorption capacities of various natural and man-made fibrous sorbents were compared in a simulated seawater bath containing oil. Natural sorbents such as milkweed, kapok, cotton, and wool showed higher sorption capacities than man-made sorbents such as polyester, polypropylene, viscose rayon, nylon 6, nylon 66, and acetate. Sorption capacities of the natural sorbents were over 30 g oil/g fiber. No definite advantages were observed using man-made bicomponent and biconstituent fibers over regular man-made fibers with respect to their sorption capacity.Analyses of sorption mechanisms using an environmental scanning electron microscope revealed that an oil deposit disappeared from the fiber surface after a certain time interval in milkweed, kapok, and cotton. This suggested that the sorption of oil in these fibers occurred through capillary action, probably due to their hollow lumens. Contrarily, adsorption, a surface phenomenon, would be the most prominent mechanism for oil sorption of wool fibers due to large amounts of surface wax, irregular scaly surfaces, and crimp. Effects of both adsorption and absorption were shown in the oil sorption of man-made fibers, depending upon the type and shape of the sorbent. Dumbbell-like oil deposits were seen on the fiber surface in certain oleophilic man-made fibers, because of a partial wetting of oil on the fiber surface. For some hydrophilic man-made fibers such as polyvinylalcohol and copolymer of isobutylene-maleic anhydride, the physical configuration of the fiber was a decisive factor in determining oil sorpton capacity of the sorbents. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Carbodiimide catalysis in cross-linking of cotton cellulose with 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (1995)

    Notes: This study examined carbodiimde catalysis (cyanamide, dicyandiamide, disodium cyanamide) in the cross-linking of cotton cellulose with 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA). Considerable improvement in the smooth drying appearance of the treated cotton substantiated the fact that cellulose cross-linking has been achieved by BTCA in the presence of carbodiimide. Bath pH was a very important factor in determining the performance properties of the treated cotton. Two possible reaction mechanisms were proposed: direct esterification and anhydride intermediate formation. Both pathways involved the formation of urea. Semiquantitative analyses of the spectra obtained by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the cyanamide was somewhat less effective than were dicyandiamide and sodium hypophosphite in esterification efficiency. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Thermal characteristics of unsaturated dicarboxylic acid durable press finishing systemsAddress correspondence to Brenda J. Trask-Morrell at the USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Southern Regional Research Center, New Orleans, LA 70179-0687. (1994)

    Notes: Thermoanalytical (TA) studies including differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) and thermogravimetric (TG) analyses were carried out to measure characteristics of dried mixtures based on two unsaturated polycarboxylic acids. Model 9% treatment (pad) solutions of maleic (M) and/or itaconic (I) acid, with and without potassium peroxydisulfate (K) as the free-radical initiator, were prepared with sodium hypophosphite (H) as the catalyst and vacuum oven-dried. DSC thermograms varied with each component; even the presence of a small amount of component K was evident. TG residue production and maximum rates of weight loss were the most useful thermal parameters. Residue/rate factors, used previously as predictors, were calculated. Previous studies indicated that high residues and low rates were indicators of combinations of reactants that resulted in good durable press treatments for fabrics. Residue/rate factors were used to rank the six mixtures that reflect actual fabric treatment combinations: MH, IH, MIH, and those same three with the initiator present. Rankings indicated that the presence of the initiator significantly increased the residue/rate factor for IHK and for MIHK. The presence of the initiator appears more beneficial to itaconic acid than to maleic acid. The rankings by the TA predictor agreed with textile properties measuring appearance and strength. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
