Visual and Manual Tests. Synthetic fibers are generally mixed with other fibers to achieve a balance of properties. Acryhc staple may be blended with wool, cotton, polyester, rayon, and other synthetic fibers. Therefore, as a preliminary step, the yam or fabric must be separated into its constituent fibers. This immediately estabUshes whether the fiber is a continuous filament or staple product. Staple length, brightness, and breaking strength wet and dry are all usehil tests that can be done in a cursory examination. A more critical identification can be made by a set of simple manual procedures based on burning, staining, solubiUty, density deterrnination, and microscopical examination. 

Decabromododiphenyl Oxide—Polyacrylate Finish. This finish, effective on both polyester and nylon fabrics, is one of the most effective finishes available (ca 1993) for cotton—polyester blends (131). Relatively high cost and difficulty in appUcation may have prevented more widespread use. 

Textile Flame Retardants. The first known commercial appHcation for phosphine derivatives was as a durable textile flame retardant for cotton and cotton—polyester blends. The compounds are tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium salts (10) which are prepared by the acid-cataly2ed addition of phosphine to formaldehyde. The reaction proceeds ia two stages. Initially, the iatermediate tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine [2767-80-8] is formed. 

There is no question that the bane of textile chemists in the area of cross-linking for smooth-dry performance is the loss of abrasion resistance. This has been a continuing problem when durable press is pushed to high levels of performance. Numerous approaches to this problem have been explored (32). However, the simplest solution has been to blend cotton with synthetic fibers. A 50—50 cotton—polyester fabric can have exceUent smooth-dry performance and yet be able to endure numerous launderings. 

Two factors emerged to turn the focus of durable press the discovery that incorporation of a level of nylon or polyester in the fabric can substantially increase the garments abrasion resistance, and the reali2ation that the marketplace preferred cotton—polyester blends in delayed cure operations, even though 85% cotton—15% nylon fabric yields a suitable product. The 50% cotton—50% polyester fabric seemed particularly appropriate because it contained sufficient ceUulosic to benefit from a chemical finish and sufficient synthetic to provide strength and abrasion resistance. 

The phosphonic acid reactive dyes were appHed to cellulose under slightly acid pH rather than alkaline pH required for other ceUulosic reactive dyes. This feature made them especially attractive for one bath appHcation with disperse dyes to cotton/polyester blends. A review of these dyes appears ia Refereace 5. 

Studies on the detergency performance and cost optimization of the LAS/AS/ AES have been published [42,43]. Figure 19 shows the performance optimization on sebum soil on cotton cloth and a cotton/polyester permanent press cloth.

Polymers are integral parts of mankind as building blocks of himself (protein, nucleic acids), his clothing (wool, cotton, polyester), building materials (wood, polystyrene), in the accumulation of knowledge (paper, ink), etc. The polymer industry today is at parity with the total metal-based industry and employs more chemists than all the other areas of chemistry combined. 

They are fabricated from a variety of inorganic, organic, and naturally occurring materials and generally contain pores that are greater than 50—100 A in diameter. Materials such as nonwoven fibers (e.g. nylon, cotton, polyesters, glass), polymer films (e.g. polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), poly(tetrafluo-roethylene) (PTFE), poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC)), and naturally occurring substances (e.g. rubber, asbestos, wood) have been used for microporous separators in batteries that operate at ambient and low temperatures (<100 °C). The microporous polyolefins (PP, PE, or laminates of PP and PE) are widely used in lithium based nonaqueous batteries (section 6.1), and filled polyethylene separators in lead-acid batteries (section 7.3), respectively.

Cotton and Cotton-Polyester. Cotton is the principal fiber bleached today, and almost all cotton is bleached. About 80-90% of all cotton and cotton-polyester fabric is bleached with hydrogen peroxide.
