摘要:
Tea polyphenol obtained by the extraction from tea has an antibacterial effect. In methods for producing an antibacterial fiber by fixing the tea polyphenol to fiber, the object of the present invention is to provide a process for manufacturing an antibacterial fiber capable of exerting an excellent antibacterial performance without the use of metal chelates potentially causing metal allergy and environmental problems. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention manufactures an antibacterial fiber by a process comprising the steps of contacting fiber with or immersing fiber in an aqueous solution in which a cationic surfactant with a quaternary ammonium salt group, a water-soluble protein, and an alkaline compound are dissolved; and separating said fiber from the aqueous solution, to immerse the fiber in another aqueous solution containing tea polyphenol.

The present invention is directed to a method for treating a material to impart wrinkle reduction and temporary crease resistance thereto, and improve feel. The method involves: applying to said material a solution of a treatment composition in an amount effective to impart temporary crease and stain resistance, said fabric treatment composition comprising a hydroxy urea or hydroxy amide compound; and allowing said treatment composition to dry at ambient temperature, wherein said hydroxy urea compound comprises one urea and at least one hydroxyl group and said hydroxy amide compound comprises at least one amide group and at least one hydroxyl group. The material treatment is useful in reducing wrinkles in clothing, improving the feel of fabrics, and increasing the moisture adsorbence and retention in natural and synthetic fabrics.

Provided are compounds and methods for modifying a material to change properties of the material, as well as a variety of products obtained using the methods. In one embodiment, a material comprising one or more modifiable functional groups is reacted with an activated hydrophobic acyl group in the presence of a hindered base, thereby to covalently attach the hydrophobic acyl group to the modifiable functional groups on the material. The material which is modified may be, for example, a carbohydrate, and the modifiable functional groups on the material may be hydroxyls. For example, materials such as cellulose may be modified by reacting it with an acid chloride or acid anhydride including a hydrophobic acyl group, in the presence of a hindered base, such as tripentylamine, to attach the hydrophobic acyl groups to the hydroxyls on the cellulose, thereby to increase the hydrophobicity of the cellulose. The methods and compounds disclosed herein may be used to modify materials to improve properties such as resistance, grease repellency, soil resistance and permanent press properties.

The present invention provides methods for preparing an article capable of detoxifying a pesticide, such as textiles, comprising: (a) immersing the article in an aqueous treating solution which comprises a catalyst, a wetting agent and a heterocyclic amine; and (b) treating the article with a halogenated aqueous solution, thereby rendering the article capable of detoxifying a pesticide.
摘要:
A textile treatment composition which imparts anti-wrinkling properties to textiles treated therewith, said textile treatment composition comprising a polyhydroxyalkylurea crosslinking agent having at least two urea moieties. Textiles treated with the compositions of the invention display a significant reduction in wrinkles compared with nontreated textiles. Moreover, the treated textiles have a tactile sensation of feeling soft and retain their smoothness after laundering.
