Surface Properties of the Hydrazinolyzed Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Nylon 6 Fibers

Microfibers of Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET)/Nylon 6 (P/N) was heat set at 170C in a fixed state and then treated with hydrazine at 30C for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 h. Weight loss from the hydrazine treatment increased according to the hydrazine concentration(Fig.1). In order to investigate in detail the effect of the electrostatic attraction between the dye anion and hydrazide groups in cooperated by hydrazinolysis, -potential of P/N fiber was measured by streaming potential method. The surface charge density, o, of the fiber was evaluated from the -potential.
