Functional modifications of chitosan fibers 0603.rtf

Abstrakt

Chitosan fibers have in recent years found applications in various niche end us-es such as antimicrobial textiles and wound dressings. In these applications, chitosan is used for its natural antimicrobial properties and its ability to provide a moist environment and to accelerate wound healing. Because chitosan pos-sesses in its structure highly reactive primary amine groups and hydroxyl groups, the functional properties of chitosan fibers can be modified by applying various treatments to the fiber structure. Chelation with metal ions Chitosan fibers can bind metal ions via chelation ...

PTT uses and potential 0604.rtf

Abstrakt

P oly(trimethylene terephthalate), a kind of thermoplastic polymer, is used mainly to produce Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) fibre or PTT fibre. The moisture sorption of PTT fibre is little or even less than of normal Poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibre. As one kind of polymer fibre, PTT fibre also has rigid phenyl just like PET fibre 's. The space structure of PTT fibre 's macromolecule is similar to the shape of "Z". The crystal velocity of PTT fibre is about 15 times that of PET fibre.
