As fragrances are volatile, only microencapsulated aroma can stay on textiles for long periods, since capsules greatly reduce the aroma evaporation rate. An aroma finished textile has to be washable. Therefore, aroma capsules finished on textiles should not only last for long time statically but also withstand harsh washing conditions. Due to low affinity between encapsulated aroma and fabric, a fixing agent must be applied with the capsules; the fabric has to undergo a curing treatment to make the agent fix these capsules. However, the curing process is usually a high-temperature thermal procedure that causes aroma loss from capsules by quick evaporation. Thus, fragrant durability on fabrics can vary significantly with different fixing agents and curing processes. Three fixing agents, three kinds of thermal curing equipment, and various curing conditions were investigated. By analysing properties of the fixing agents, heat transfer characteristics of the curing apparatus, and delivered energies in the curing conditions, a washing durable aroma capsule finishing process for cotton fabric was developed.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE}, author={Li, Shiqi and Lewis, Joy E. and Stewart, Neil M. and Qian, Lei and Boyter, Henry}, year={2008}, pages={177–183} }

To prove the chlorine transfer reaction, model compounds of amine halamine and imide were employed. The results indicated that the chlorine transfer reaction from stable amine halamine to imide and the formation of an active imide halamine occurred in both water and chloroform solutions. The transfer is a second-order reaction related to the concentrations of both amine halamine and imide bonds but is more significantly affected by the concentration of amine bonds. The reaction is endothermic, and the rate is very slow, on the order of 10-4−10-5 mmol/min in both water and chloroform.}, number={4}, journal={INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH}, author={Qian, L and Sun, G}, year={2005}, month={Feb}, pages={852–856} }

To prepare biocidal fabrics that can inactivate microorganisms rapidly and survive repeated laundering and long duration of storage, 3‐methylol‐2,2,5,5‐tetramethylimidazolidinone and dimethylol‐5,5‐dimethylhydantoin were combined in different ratios in chemical modifications of cellulose fabrics. The mixtures of TMIO and hydantoin rings on the grafted cellulose provided a hybrid of imide, amide, and amine halamine structures in different ratios after chlorination, and led to varied efficacy and durability of biocidal properties on the finished fabrics. The effect of the combined halamine structures on biocidal efficacy and durability of the fabrics were discussed in this article. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

By chemically reacting MTMIO with cellulose, TMIO rings were successfully grafted onto cellulose‐containing fabrics. After a subsequent chlorination, the treated fabrics were converted to halamine structures, which then demonstrated effective antibacterial efficacy. As expected, the halamine structure generated from TMIO is much more stable, and therefore, the biocidal functions of the finished materials are more durable. The results indicated that this halamine structure could survive repeated home laundering and would require less frequent chlorine recharging to maintain the biocidal properties. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

N-methylol compounds such as dimethyloldihydroxylethyleneurea (DMDHEU) are traditional durable press finishing agents. In recent years, multifunctional carboxylic acids such as 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) have been used as nonformaldehyde alternatives. In this research, we investigate the loss in fabric abrasion resistance caused by degradation and crosslinking of cellulose. Treatment of cotton by a polycarboxylic acid or a catalyst for DMDHEU results in a significant loss of its abrasion resistance. The lost abrasion resistance of cotton treated with BTCA is attributed to irreversible acid-catalyzed depolymerization and reversible crosslinking of cellulose molecules. We have removed the crosslinking of BTCA-treated cotton fabric with alkaline hydrolysis, thus determining separately the magnitude of lost fabric abrasion resistance due to the two different factors. For a warp-faced twill weave cotton, the reduced abrasion resistance in the warp direction is more severe than in the filling direction.}, number={6}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Yang, CQ and Qian, L and Lickfield, GC}, year={2001}, month={Jun}, pages={543–548} }
