Textile Properties of Tussah Silk Fabric by Eco-friendly Crosslinking Agents Modification

摘要

To increase the wrinkle resistant property of tussah silk fabric, the eco-friendly crosslinking agents of citric acid (CA) was applied to tussah silk wrinkle resistant finishing process. Tussah silk fabric was treated with a conventional pad-dry-cure method. The finishing effects of tussah silk fabric including wrinkle recovery angle, whiteness and mechanical properties were characterized. The finishing agents CA in the presence of catalyst of sodium monophosphate (SHP) as well as the treatment conditions significantly affected the anti-wrinkle effects of treated tussah silk fabrics. The treated fabric samples showed increased wrinkle resistant property. The retention rate of breaking strength and whiteness of CA treatment tussah silk meet to the demands of the fabric treatment.
