| Abstract: | The interaction and the durability to laundering of a cationic β‐cyclodextrin derivative applied to Tencel were examined by x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The N1(s) XPS spectra of the cationic β‐cyclodextrin treated substrates revealed the presence of the applied finish on the fibre surface and that the durability of the applied finish to hand‐wash was good. However, the cationic β‐cyclodextrin derivative showed poor durability to the ISO CO6/C2S wash protocol. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
