Cotton Fabric Dyed with Self-Dispersive and Reactive Nanocarbon Black for Enhanced Static Resistance and UV Protection

Abstract

Amino functionalized nanocarbon black (CB/KH550) was prepared in reaction between KH550 and nanocarbon black (CB). 2-(4-(4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-ylamino)phenylsulfonyl)ethyl) sodium sulfate (SDTES) was synthesized and characterized. Self-dispersive and reactive nanocarbon black (CB/KH550/SDTES) was prepared by nucleophile substitution reaction and characterized by FTIR, TEM, zeta potential, and TG analysis. Cotton fabric was dyed with CB/KH550/SDTES by dip-dyeing method and was observed by SEM. Moreover, color depth, static resistance, UV protection, tensile property, and rub fastness of cotton fabric were measured and analyzed. Results showed that CB/KH550/SDTES demonstrated excellent dispersion stability. The dyed cotton fabric possessed adorable antiultraviolet and antistatic properties. The preparation mechanism of the cotton fabric dyed with CB/KH550/SDTES was proposed.
