  • Continuous photografting/crosslinking of polyethyleneglycol dimethacrylate oligomers onto cotton using a water-soluble benzophenone photoinitiator was investigated. Photografting increased with increasing irradiation dose, oligomer concentration and photoinitiator concentration. Maximum grafting efficiency of DM 400 and 600 were 83% and 79%, respectively. the photografting increased the wrinkle resistance of cotton implying surface crosslinking of cotton. bothsurface crosslinking and bulk crosslinking of cotton were accomplished via dual curing of a mixed formulation containing both a thermally curable component (BTCCA/SHP) and a UV-curable component. The wrinkle resistance of the crosslinked cotton was found to be higher when cured by thermal curing due to the facile post-polymerization of the UV active component. The presence of crosslinks in the dually crosslinked cotton was verified with FT-IR and thermogravimetric analysis.

  • PET fabrics were cationized via photografting under continuous UV irradiation with a cationic monomer. The grafted PET was dyed with three acid dyes. Effect of dye concentration, dyeing time, temperature and pH on acidic dyeing of the cationized PET fabrics was assessed to find optimal dyeing condition. The cationized fabrics was successfully dyed at $75^{\circ}C$ under pH 5.5. However the dyeing sites of the grafted fabrics were nearly occupied above 5%owf dye concentration and the rapid exhaustion of the anionic dyes was observed. The dyeability of the cationized PET fabrics was increased proportionally with increasing percent grafting because of the introduction of ionic attraction between quaternary ammonium groups and acid dyes. Lower dyeability both at alkaline and pH 3 condition attributed to negative zeta potentials of the grafted fabrics and the reduced charge of the acid dyes respectively.

  • Dimethylaminopropyl methacryamide was photografted onto PET fabrics by continuous UV irradiation under ambient conditions. Several factors affecting the photografting were studied including irradiation energy, monomer and photoinitiator concentrations. ATR and ESCA analysis showed the successful grafting of the monomer onto the PET surface. The grafted PET fabrics showed higher zeta potentials below pH 7 compared with the ungrafted PET. The dyeability of the grafted PET fabrics to two $\alpha$-bromoacrylamide reactive dyes was investigated under various dyeing conditions including dye concentration, pH, dyeing temperature and time. The grafting imparted the reactive dyeability to PET fabrics, which was proportional to the grafted monomer content. The reactive dyeing behavior of the grafted PET fabrics was similar to that of conventional wool fabrics.

  • PET fabrics were photografted under continuous UV irradiation with vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) and acryloylmorpholine(ACMO) as monomers and benzophenone as a hydrogen-abstractable photoinitiator. ACMO can be grafted onto the PET fabrics more efficiently than VP. The grafted PET surfaces were characterized by ATR, ESCA, SEM and zeta potential measurement. ATR and ESCA analysis indicated significant alterations on chemical structure and atomic composition on the surface of the grafted fabrics, where nitrogen content increased with increasing grafting yield. SEM images showed that the fabric surface was covered with the grafted polymers. The zeta potentials and the water wettability of the grafted PET increased with grafting. Also the photografted fabrics showed an increased dyeablity to reactive dyes and increased affinity to various iodine species which imparted anti-bacterial properties.

  • para-Aramid has limited dyeability because of its highly crystalline structure and compactness. To improve the dyeability of the para-aramid to reactive dyes of bright color in deep shade, the fabrics were photografted under continuous UV irradiation with dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide and 4-benzoyl benzoic acid as a monomer and a hydrogen -abstractable photoinitiator respectively. A UV energy of 35J/$cm^2$ and a photoinitiator concentration of ten percent or more with respect to the monomer in the formulation was required for optimal photografting. Grafting yield increased with higher monomer application level. Surface analysis indicated significant alterations in the atomic composition of the photografted fabric surface and the fabric surface was covered with the grafted polymers. While the pristine para-aramid fabrics showed no appreciable dyeability to the ${\alpha}$-bromoacrylamide reactive dyes, the grafted para-aramid fabrics enhanced the dyeability to the reactive dyes substantially. In case of C.I. Reactive Blue 50, a K/S value of 8.7 can be obtained with the grafted para-aramid fabrics with a grafting yield of 2.3 %. Also the color fastness properties of the dyed fabrics was excellent in the conditions of washing, rubbing and light irradiation.
