In the present research, six reactive dyes were used in combination with DMDHEU, a DP finishing agent, in one-step and conventional two-step dyeing and finishing processes. Colorfastness properties and DP ratings of fabrics treated by the one-step dyeing and finishing process were comparable to those fabrics dyed and finished in separate steps.}, number={3}, journal={AATCC JOURNAL OF RESEARCH}, author={Li, Shiqi and Freeman, Harold S. and Boyter, Henry, Jr. and Qian, Lei}, year={2015}, pages={6–12} }

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} }

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} }
