- Title
Ionic liquids for finishing polyester fibers with cellulosic surfaces.
- Authors
Textor, Torsten; Gutmann, Jochen S.
- Abstract
Finishing PET with cellulose allows creating fibers that combine positive properties of polyester and cotton. Various ionic liquids - a promising new class of solvents - dissolve cotton as well as other cellulosic materials without any problems. Such solutions can be used to carry out finishing pro - cesses without laborious derivatization procedures. The finished PET fibers do not feel like cotton up to now, however, do exhibit other interesting properties.
