Abstract

A significant challenge in the clothing industry is sustainable manufacturing with reduced exposure to toxic chemicals. This research presents a novel modification in the resin finishing of cotton fabric via successful compounding of etherified DMDHEU resin, waterborne polyurethane (WPU), and polyethylene wax (PEW) and its application by one-step eco-friendly route (Pad-Dry-Cure). Our hybrid finish formulation (DMDHEU resin/WPU/PEW) perfectly balanced ultra-high wear resistance, fast wrinkle recovery rate, and comfort properties. The optimal application conditions for etherified 2D resin and the conventional catalytic system magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) were determined through the PAD-DRY-Cure finishing route, focusing on parameters such as resin concentration, curing time, and temperature. Second, a compounding of waterborne polyurethane (WPU) and etherified DMDHEU resin finish formulation was obtained, followed by an application and evaluation of the corresponding performance properties of the finished fabric with the compounded DMDHEU resin/WPU. Third, polyethylene wax (PEW) synthesis followed by cotton fabric finishing using optimized PEW and DMDHEU resin/ WPU hybrid finish formulation was done. Finally, finished fabric properties were investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) structural analysis to examine its microstructure. Under optimized finishing conditions, the hybrid finish formulation consisting of MDHEU resin/WPU/polyethylene wax (PEW) application on cotton fabric demonstrated efficient wear resistance, high wrinkle recovery rate, and good laundering durability. Additionally, there was minimal loss of tensile strength and better air and water permeability, indicating enhanced wearing comfort.

采用一步法环保策略整理的棉织物具有高效的耐磨性和抗皱性

服装行业面临的一个重大挑战是如何在减少有毒化学品接触的同时实现可持续生产。本研究提出了一种新型棉织物树脂整理改性方法，即通过醚化 DMDHEU 树脂、水性聚氨酯 (WPU) 和聚乙烯蜡 (PEW) 的成功复配，并采用一步法环保途径（Pad-Dry-Cure）进行应用。我们的混合饰面配方（DMDHEU 树脂/WPU/PEW）在超高耐磨性、快速皱纹恢复率和舒适性之间实现了完美平衡。通过 PAD-DRY-Cure 涂饰工艺，确定了醚化二维树脂和传统催化体系氯化镁（MgCl2）的最佳应用条件，重点关注树脂浓度、固化时间和温度等参数。其次，获得了水性聚氨酯（WPU）和醚化 DMDHEU 树脂的复合整理配方，然后应用并评估了复合 DMDHEU 树脂/WPU 的成品织物的相应性能。第三，合成聚乙烯蜡（PEW），然后使用优化的聚乙烯蜡和 DMDHEU 树脂/WPU 混合整理配方对棉织物进行整理。最后，通过扫描电子显微镜（SEM）和 X 射线衍射（XRD）结构分析研究了成品织物的微观结构。在优化的整理条件下，由 MDHEU 树脂/WPU/聚乙烯蜡（PEW）组成的混合整理配方在棉织物上的应用表现出高效的耐磨性、高皱纹恢复率和良好的洗涤耐久性。此外，拉伸强度损失极小，透气性和透水性更好，表明穿着更舒适。
