Abstract
A spun rayon fabric, pretreated with ferrous sulfate, was dipped in an aqueous acrylic acid solution containing a little H2O2, then wrung and heated at 90_??_95°C for polymerization. Next it was treated by aluminium acetate solution to reduce hydrophilic property.
We studied some properties of treated fabric and obtained following results.
1. Acrylic acid monomer can be polymerized in viscose fibre.
2. Acrylic acid monomer impregnated and polymerized fabrics can resist to soaping by treating with aluminium acetate solution.
3. By above treatments some improvements in character of fabrics may be expected, i.e. rigidity, crease recovery, water repellency, shrinkage in soaping and strength of spun rayon fabric.
