텐셀은 고결정성 부분이 섬유축방향으로 고배향되어 있어, 섬유축방향으로 피브릴이 발생하는데, 특히 습윤 상태에서는 팽윤에 의해 피브릴간의 결합력이 약해져 저배향 부분의 내부 피브릴 영역이 커져, 기계적 마찰을 부여하면 피브릴이 발생한다[1-6]. 텐셀의 피브릴화 경향은 목적에 따라서 장점과 단점이 될 수 있다. 텐셀의 피브릴화 가공은 피치스킨 효과, 태 향상, 반발감 등을 지닌 우수한 직물의 외관을 부여할 수 있다. (중략)

Cationization is effective to complement the defects of Tencel blended fabrics by introducing new functions. For this purpose, we used chitosan, which is congenial to the human body, free of pollution, and easily reacted. Then, we compared it to the Tencel single fabrics. To perform such effective cationization, the fabrics were treated with chitosan after NaOH pretreatment and enzyme treatment thereof. After that, the fabrics were treated with a crosslinking agent and a softner. The dyeing property of the cationized Tencel blended fabrics and reactive dye, which is a type of anionic dye, show a high concentration in neutral salt and excellent repulsive power between the fabrics and the decreased dyes. The dyeing property of the chitosan treated fabrics represented better performances than that of untreated fabric in the lower concentration of neutral salt. Meanwhile, when it was dyed with certain acid dyes, the dyeing property of the chitosan treated fabrics showed better results due to the reaction of an amine group, which was introduced by chitosan treatment. Thus, the verification of the cationization of the Tencel blended fabrics was performed. The washing fastness of the Tencel blended fabrics showed a little bit better than that of the Tencel single fabric, and it represented a better performance in the dye with a reactive dye than that of an acid dye.

Tencel is a high quality cellulosic fiber, which is controlled and processed by an environmentally sound route. But, the point about tencel and the reason why it achieves its unique touch in its finished state is that it is a fibrillating fiber. That means it can take a great deal of punishment during the finishing process, which raise the fiber to produce the characteristics handle, without destroying the cloth. The aim of cellulase treatment is to improve appearence of tencel, plus the fiber ends protruding from the fabric surface. But enzymatic hydrolysis can weakens the fiber ends and changes the properties of fabrics. This study examined about the changes of properties according to several conditions and effect of cellulase to fibril of tencel. The results are as follows. The weight loss was occurred, tensile strength was decreased, softness was increased. And cellulase treatment reduced amount of fibril.

The Tencel fabrics were treated with bio-softness finish to improve softness. The change of the properties depending on the softner as well as cellulase treatment was investigated. The relative activity of cellulase for tencel was maximum ap pH 4-4.3 cellulase concentration 14-16% (o. w .f) treatment time 4 hour and liquor ratio 100: 1 The treatment of epoxy silicon softner improved in pilling whiteness dye absorption of Tencel fabric.

텐셀(tencel)은 영국의 섬유회사인 ACORDIS사가 생산하는 고급 천연소재의 Brand 이름으로 종래의 Rayon의 문제점을 개선한 차세대 섬유라는 것은 주지의 사실이다. 텐셀은 엄격한 기준을 거친 양질의 목재펄프에서 천연 셀룰로즈만을 채취해 100% 천연소재로 제조과정에서 유독 물질을 전혀 배출하지 않고 자연 속으로 완벽하게 생분해되는 환경 친화적인 소재이나 그동안 소재홍보에만 주력을 하여 염색가공 기술적인 측면은 진전이 없어 피브릴화로 일어나는 여러가지 품질상의 문제점을 갖고 있었다. (중략)

The purposes of this study are to evaluate mechanical properties and sensibility of tencel jacquard fabrics treated with ginkgo biloba extract and silicon softener, and to contribute to the research and development of the bedclothes made of the tencel jacquard fabrics. Mechanical properties and objective fabric hand evaluation were measured by using KES-FB system. Subjective sensibilities such as sensory, touch, and purchasing preference were estimated by using blind field test. The tensile properties such as EM, WT, and RT of tencel jacquard fabrics treated with ginkgo biloba extract and silicon softener showed increase. Bending properties and shear properties were decreased, but compression properties were increased compared to untreated fabric. With ginkgo biloba extract and silicon softener treatment, thickness and weight were increased. Therefore, tencel jacquard fabrics became more stretchable, softer, and bulkier than untreated fabrics. Consequently, THV of tencel jacquard fabrics treated with ginkgo biloba extract and silicon softener were increased. When fabrics were treated sequentially with ginkgo biloba extract and silicon softener, fabrics were estimated softer, more flexible, and bulkier than untreated fabrics. Also, tencel jacquard fabrics treated with ginkgo biloba extract and silicon softener were estimated to have good touch and preference.

Fibrillation is caused by wet abrasion and occurs during scouring treatments, domestic laundering and wet finishing. So, for clean fabrics, fibrillation must either be prevented or removed after it has occurred. In this study, we researched the influence thickness of tencel on fibrillation occurrence. And the three methods of SEM photograph, reflectance values and gray level values were used in order to present proper evaluation method for fibrillation. The results are as follows. The thickness of tencel was high affected with occurrence of fibrillation, that is, as the thickness of fabrics thicker, the fibrillation occurer. And all method applicated as fibrillation evaluation method very effected without big difference, but they come into be a little question in the side of exactness.

The purpose of this study is to develope wrinkle recovery property, DP rating of Tencel by using BTCA(1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid) and MgCl$_2$ that does not make water pollution. The adoptable condition to improve the wrinkle resistance and DP rating was determined 10％ BTCA(o.w.f), 3％ catalyst(o.w.f), 0.5％ softener(o.w.f), 5min padding time, 150$^{\circ}C$ curing temperature, 2min curing time and pH 2.7. It was proven that ester groups were formed and cross-links increased by treating Tencel with BTCA. By XPS diffraction, Tencel treatment using BTCA was proved not to affect crystal formation.
