Abstract

The antistatic and hydrophilic properties of acrylic, polyamide, and polyester fibers were improved by treatment with a polymerizable vinyl monomer contg. an ammonium group and a polymerizable monomer contg. a carboxyl or sulfo group and irradiating. Thus, a polyamide textile was padded with an mixt. of (CH2:CHCH2)2N+Me2 Cl- [7398-69-8] 25, CH2:CHCO2H [79-10-7] 5, and H2O 75 parts and irradiated with an electron beam, the unfixed monomer removed by washing, and the textile dried to give a fabric with moisture regain 5.5% and elec. resistance 8.2 * 1010 W (9.8 * 1010 W after 20 machine washes).

Textile

Textile is an umbrella term that includes various fiber-based materials, including fibers, yarns, filaments, threads, different fabric types, etc. At first, the word "textiles" only referred to woven fabrics. However, weaving is not the only manufacturing method, and many other methods were later developed to form textile structures based on their intended use. Knitting and non-woven are other popular types of fabric manufacturing.

Polyamide

A polyamide is a polymer with repeating units linked by amide bonds. Polyamides occur both naturally and artificially. Examples of naturally occurring polyamides are proteins, such as wool and silk. Artificially made polyamides can be made through step-growth polymerization or solid-phase synthesis yielding materials such as nylons, aramids, and sodium polyaspartate. Synthetic polyamides are commonly used in textiles, automotive industry, carpets, kitchen utensils and sportswear due to their high durability and strength.

Finishing (textiles)

In textile manufacturing, finishing refers to the processes that convert the woven or knitted cloth into a usable material and more specifically to any process performed after dyeing the yarn or fabric to improve the look, performance, or "hand" (feel) of the finish textile or clothing. The precise meaning depends on context. Fabric after leaving the loom or knitting machine is not readily useable. Called grey cloth at this stage, it contains natural and added impurities.
