In this study, –NH2 groups were introduced to a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabric to make the fabric hydrophilic and, then, soybean protein was bonded on the surface of the modified PET fabric to obtain a soybean protein/PET composite fabric. The –NH2 groups allowed the soybean protein to be firmly bonded on the surface of the modified PET fabric. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the surface of each modified PET fiber had a small number of grooves and that there was a thin film on each soybean protein/PET fiber. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectra demonstrated that the nitrated and reduced PET fibers were introduced –NH2 groups and that there were –CO–NH– groups on the surface of soybean protein/PET fibers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses showed that there was a nitrogen element on the modified PET fibers. The X-ray diffraction patterns suggested that the crystal structures of the modified fibers did not change significantly during the modification processes. The thermogravimetry results showed that the thermal stability of soybean protein/PET fiber kept well. The wearability tests indicated that the breaking strength and elasticity of the original fabric were well retained by the modified fabrics. The soybean protein/PET fabric had good levels of hydrophilicity and softness when the binding rate was below 3.0%.

ABSTRACTThis study was conducted to investigate the effects of component concentrations and addition order of the components, on the final properties of ternary nanocomposites composed of poly(ethylene terephthalate), organoclay, and an ethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) terpolymer acting as an impact modifier for PET. Among the investigated addition orders, the best sequence of component addition (PI-C i.e. PET, Impact Modifier-Clay) was the one in which poly (ethylene terephthalate) was first compounded with E-MA-GMA. Later, this mixture was compounded with the organoclay in the subsequent run. In X-ray diffraction analysis, extensive layer separation associated with delamination of the original clay structure was observed in PI-C and (CI-P i.e. Clay, Impact Modifier-PET) sequences with both 1 and 3 wt. % clay contents. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that, at these conditions, exfoliated structures were obtained.

The poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) fabric was modified by ultraviolet radiation, nano TiO2 and H2O 2 . The results showed that PET fabric could be modified to super wettable fabric, the contact angle of PET fabric irradiated by ultraviolet radiation for 50 min could decrease to 0o in 3.29 second. The Scanning electrical micrograph(SEM) showed there were lots of oxidized products on the surface of modified PET fibers. FT-IR spectra showed modified PET fiber had –COOH, and probably had –NO2. The X-ray diffraction showed the crystallinity increased greatly, and had two new diffraction peaks.

The mutual effects of nano-TiO2 and alkaline hydrolysis on the morphology, chemical structure, water absorption, and the dyeing behavior of poly(ethylene terephthalate) nanofibers were investigated via employing scanning electron microscope, Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction, and measuring water contact angle, 3M repellency, and dye absorption. A direct relation between the alkaline hydrolysis rate and nanofibers hydrophilicity was observed, while the addition of the nano-TiO2 led to more hydrophobicity. However, the alkaline hydrolysis had the prominent effect. FTIR spectra illustrated no chemical interaction between the nanoparticles and nanofibers. It was also shown that the dye absorption at dyeing equilibrium and the rate of dyeing were increased by the presence of the nano-TiO2 and these effects were intensified by the alkaline hydrolysis. These observations were related to the reduction in the nanofibers diameter and the increase in the surface roughness, as evidenced in the scanning electron microscope, and the increase in the amorphous regions of the nanofibers, as shown by the X-ray diffraction diffractograms.

The effect of dimethyl-5-sodiosulfoisophthalate, SIP, on poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, crystallization has been studied using in situ high-temperature x-ray diffraction, HTXRD. At low levels of SIP modification, PET-like crystallinity was observed. At high SIP levels, clustering of polyester ionomers was observed and crystallization was significantly suppressed. The HTXRD data along with differential scanning calorimetry, DSC, and small angle x-ray scattering, SAXS, indicate that the change from bulk crystallization to bulk ionomer formation occurred when 8-12 mol% of the diester linkages contained SIP.

In this paper,the soybean protein / poly (ethylene terephthalate)PET composite fabric was obtained and its wearability was mainly studied. It is found that the moisture regain, water absorption, air permeability and moisture permeability of soybean protein PET composite fabric were improved greatly. In addition, the whiteness and elastic wrinkle recovery angle kept well, and the stiffness increased incredibly. Therefore, soybean protein being grafted on PET fabric surface not only improved the biocompatibility, but also the wearability.
