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.

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%.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabric-reinforced polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites have a wide range of applications, but the interface bonding of PET fabric/PVC composites has remained a challenge. In this work, a new in-situ SiO2/tributyl citrate sizing agent was synthesized according to the principle of “similar compatibility.” The developed sizing agent was used as a PET surface modifier to enhance the interfacial performance of PET fabric/PVC composites. The morphology and structure of the PET filaments, the wettability and tensile properties of the PET fabric, the interfacial adhesion, and the tensile and tearing properties of the PET fabric/PVC composites were investigated. Experimental results showed that many SiO2 nanoparticles were scattered on the surface of the modified PET filaments. Moreover, the surface roughness of the modified PET filaments remarkably increased in comparison with that of the untreated PET filaments. The contact angle of the modified PET filaments was also smaller than that of the untreated ones. The peeling strength of the modified PET fabrics/PVC composites was 0.663 N/mm, which increased by 62.50% in comparison with the peeling strength of the untreated ones (0.408 N/mm). This work provides a new approach to the surface modification of PET and improves the properties of PET fabric/PVC composites.

This work aimed at effective chemical recycling of waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabrics into water-soluble polyester (WSP). For this, PET fabric waste was depolymerized using excess ethylene glycol (EG) in the presence of zinc acetate as catalyst. The glycolysis product of PET, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) was then used to synthesize WSP by a three-step method, that is, transesterification, esterification and polycondensation. The structures of BHET and WSP were identified by Fourier transform infrared spectra. Sizing performances of WSP were studied, and it was found that the surface tension of WSP size (57 mN/m, 22℃, 0.5% of weight) was lower than common sizes, the viscosity of WSP size was 1–2 mPa·S (95℃, 6% of weight) and the viscosity stability was larger than 90% at this temperature. The mixture of WSP and starch showed stronger adhesion to polyester–cotton roving and polyester roving than onefold starch. K/ S values of fibers before sizing and after desizing showed a slightly difference, which indicated that WSP would not influence the color of yarns when used as the sizing agent.

In this paper, the flame retardant HAS was applied to imparting flame retardance to polyester fabric. The result showed that the flame retardance of polyester fabric improved a lot. The limiting oxygen index increased while the concentration of HAS solution and temperature increased. Whiteness and elastic recovery angle decreased while the concentration of HAS solution increased. Found a good match to the concentration and temperature, the limiting oxygen index could increase to 29% while whiteness and elastic recovery angle kept well.

As the surface of polyester fabric is hydrophobic, it is not comfortable to wear. In this paper, the surface of polyester fabric was ionized by an ionic agent. The result showed that the ionized polyester fabric had wonderful hydrophilicity. The water contact angle of ionized polyester fabric decreased to 0o, and the capillary rise height increased from 0.4cm to 14.4cm, water content from 23.77% to 119.78%. Water spraying rate decreased from 4 degree to 1 degree. The whiteness of ionized polyester fabric kept well.

Graft copolymerization of acrylic acid (AA) onto Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabrics with the aid of benzoyl peroxide was carried out. The effect of polymerization parameters on the graft yield was studied. Percent grafting was enhanced significantly by increasing benzoyl peroxide (BP) concentrations up to 3.84 g/lit and then decreased upon further increase in initiator concentration. Preswelling of PET leads to changes in its sorption-diffusion properties and favors an increase in the degree of grafting. The antibiotics treated grafted fabrics showed antibacterial properties towards gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. FTIR and SEM were used to characterize AA-grafted polyester fabrics.
