Abstract:

Chitosan and its derivatives such as carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) are safe, biocompatible and eco-friendly substance for human usages. CMCh was prepared from chitosan (89% degree of deacetylation) by carboxymethylation reaction which was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. Obtained CMCh had an average degree of substitution was 1.20 determined by titrimetric analysis. Moisture content and ash content of Ch and CMCh were 10%, 9% and 2.33%, 14.39% respectively which affect cellulosic fibre properties. Functionalization of cotton with chitosan and CMCh introduces amino (1610 cm-1) and carboxyl groups (1737 cm-1) on the cellulose chain of the cotton fibre surface, causes the increment of reactive sites on the fibre backbone. The modified fibres were characterized by FTIR, SEM and thermal behaviours were also investigated by TGA, DTA and DTG. The unmodified and modified cellulosic fibres were dyed with two reactive dyes to compare the dyeability. Among them, modified fibre showed 10-15% higher dye exhaustion and better fastness properties than that of unmodified fibre.
