Abstract:
A method for preparing a novel compound, i.e. a resinous material, characterized in that an epoxy compound is allowed to react with ammonium salt or a metal salt (for example, lithium salt, sodium salt, potassium salt, magnesium salt, etc.) of polyglutamic acid. The resulting reaction product is useful in a method for treating shaped materials especially polyester textiles. In this method the shaped materials are treated with the novel resinous material to improve the appearance and handling characteristics thereof. A process for providing a wooly finish on polyester textiles is characterized by treating textiles (including polyester knittings and mixed spun fabrics or knittings or mixed woven fabrics or knittings) in a bath of an emulsified mixed solution of an epoxy compound and a metal salt of polyglutamic acid containing a catalyst, and carrying out a heat-treatment of the resulted textiles after pre-drying.

Abstract:
This invention relates to an improved process for preparing N-carboxylic anhydrides of amino acids, and N-carboxylic anhydrides of derivatives of amino acids by reacting an amino acid, a derivative of amino acid or a salt thereof with trichloromethylchloroformate in an organic solvent, preferably a mixture of an ether or ester with one or more other organic solvents and adding to the reaction mixture carbon, basic aluminum chloride or aluminum oxide just before or immediately after completion of the initial reaction.
Abstract:
Amino acid-urethane copolymers improved in elongation, tensile strength and flexing endurance are prepared by polymerizing a prepolymer having terminal isocyanate groups, obtained by reacting a polyether polyol having hydroxyl groups substantially at the terminals thereof with an organic polyisocyanate in a ratio in equivalent of the organic polyisocyanate to the polyether polyol of 1.6 to 2.5, either with an amino acid-N-carboxylic acid anhydride or with a polyamino acid polymer obtained by polymerizing an amino acid-N-carboxylic acid anhydride.
