Abstract

In this study, a novel aqueous anionic polyurethane (NAPU) modified with silane coupling agent and maleic anhydride was synthesized. The efficiency of NAPU as a durable press finishing agent of cotton fabrics was examined, and compared with other crosslinking agents such as modified dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (SDP) and citric acid (CA). The optimum processing conditions for the treatment of cotton fabrics with NAPU were also studied.
