IMPROVED DYEABILITY AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WOOL FIBERS GRAFTED WITH POLY(ACRYLIC ACID) BY GAMMA-RADIATION

Graft copolymerization of acrylic acid onto wool fibers was carried out using a γ-radiation induced technique. The degree of grafting was influenced by the monomer concentration and the radiation dose. The changes in the polymorphism of the grafted wool fibers were investigated and compared with that of the parent fibers. A further increase in the degree of grafting was found to cause a slight reduction in moisture sorption. Affinity towards basic dye and the mechanical properties of wool fibers were improved by the graft process.     

SURFACE MODIFICATION OF POLYPROPYLENE MICROFIBRE BY PLASMA-INDUCED VAPOR GRAFTING WITH ACRYLIC ACID

The hydrophilicity, dyeing and antistatic ability of polypropylene microfibre (PPMF) wereimproved by plasma-induced vapor grafting with acrylic acid. The effects of plasma discharge time, power,liquid phase acrylic acid temperature and environmental temperatore on grafting yield were investigated. Theexistence of grafted polyacrylic acid (PAA) was verified by ESCA and ATR FT-IR. The morphology ofgrafted PAA was directly observed by SEM. The wicking test shows that the hydrophilicity of modifiedPPMF is greatly enhanced. The dyeability test of modified PPMF was carried out using Dispersion Yellow. Itwas found that the dye uptake ratio is linear to the weight percent of grafting. The antistatic ability wasindicated by specific resistance. The specific resistance of modified PPMF was reduced to 10~6～10~7Ω·cm,thus the antistatic ability was considerably improved.     

亚麻的化学组成和微观结构对染色性能的影响

本文通过X衍射法、纤维化学成分分析法测试了亚麻纤维的微观结构、化学成分，通过对亚麻进行液氨整理改变其结晶度和取向度，从而测得亚麻的结晶度和取向度对染色性能的影响，利用碱煮、H2O2和NaOCl漂白处理降低了亚麻中木质素和半纤维素的含量，从而测量得木质素和半纤维素含量对亚麻上染率的影响。结果表明亚麻的上染率随着结晶度的降低呈线性上升，随着取向度的降低而上升；随着木质素和半纤维素含量的降低而呈上升趋势。
