A SOLVENT SIZING PROCESS FOR IMPROVING THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF TEXTILE MATERIALS AND TEXTILE MATER MATERIALS OBTAINED THEREBY

摘要

ABSTRACT This invention relates to a solvent sizing process for improving the mechanical properties of cellulose and cellulosic blends. Textile materials are impregnated in a solvent system consisting of a di or tri halogenated acetic acid dissolved in a di or tri halogenated alkane or alkene at ambient temperature. Treated textile material is then dried after removing any excess solvent therefrom.
