Sublimation transfer printing of linen and polyester/linen fabrics

摘要

An attempt has been made to chemically modify the linen and polyester/linen fabrics via benzylation. Linen fabric is more susceptible to the benzylation reaction than its blend with polyester. The maximum degree of substitution obtained in the case of blend is 0.26 as compared to 0.85 in case of 100/100 linen when benzylation is conducted for 4 h. Partial benzylation of linen and polyester/linen fabrics increases their transfer printability.
