Infrared spectroscopic investigations on the distribution of residual grease on textiles

摘要

In industry, textiles usually are dry cleaned with perchloroethylene (C$- 2$/Cl$-4$/), which has the reputation of being toxic. Therefore investigations to substitute this solvent by alternative and environmentally unobjectionable solvents are of great importance. The fiber surface after solvent treatment and the distribution of residual grease are examined by FTIR spectroscopy.
