Notes:
The effect of heat treatment in the presence and absence of a nonionic surfactant (Triton X-100) on selected properties of polyester fabric was studied over the temperature range 180-220°C. Although significant heat-induced area shrinkage was evident (4.9-9.5%) in the treated polyester fabrics, stiffness, wrinkle recovery, tensile properties, moisture regain, and density of the fabrics showed only slight changes. The moisture-related properties of surfactant/heat-treated polyester were greatly improved compared to untreated control polyester or polyester subjected to heat treatment alone. Oligomer formation on the surface of surfactant-treated polyester was altered as a result of the presence of surfactant on heating compared to polyester heated alone at 180-220°C. Polyester heat treated in the presence and absence of surfactant showed increased dye uptake and more depth of color with 1,4-substituted anthraquinone dyes than untreated polyester, and these effects increased with increasing treatment temperature.
