Abstract
Four diepoxides, namely, the diglycidyl ether of 1,4-butanediol, meso-butadiene diepoxide, Eponite 100, and vinylcyclohexene dioxide have been applied to cotton print cloth (80 X 80) from methanolic and aqueous solutions in the presence of zinc fluoborate as catalyst. Physical properties imparted to cotton by these diepoxides under various conditions of reaction and cure have been evaluated. Data are presented to show varia tion of fabric properties with mole ratios of diepoxide: Zn(BF4) 2: AGU ( anhydroglucose units of cotton cellulose). It has been found for all except butadiene diepoxide that a given add-on does not result in like fabric properties and that for a certain percentage improvement in dry crease resistance, a higher retention in tensile properties is obtained at the higher AGU: Zn(BF4)2 mole ratio.
