Research on Nano-ZnO/fluorine Polyacrylate Linen Fabric Finishing Agent

Abstract

ABSTRACTWith nano-ZnO, methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl acrylate (EA), and dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFMA) as reaction monomers, potassium persulfate as initiator, nano-ZnO/fluorine polyacrylate linen fabric finishing agent was prepared by semi-continuous seed emulsion polymerization to improve the hydrophobicity and anti-fouling performance of linen fabric. The structure and properties of the film and the finished fabric were characterized and analyzed by1HNMR, FT-IR, and TG. The results showed that the nano-ZnO/fluorine emulsion was successfully prepared with a particle size of about 46 nm, which was combined with linen. The contact angle of the finished linen fabric to water was 130.33°, which indicated that the finished linen fabric had good hydrophobicity. Meanwhile, the anti-fouling performance of the finished linen fabric was also improved. The introduction of nano-ZnO and organic fluorine in turn made linen fabric had the properties of the heat-resistant stability, UV resistance, antibacterial properties, and yellowing resistance.
