Effective acid printing of protein and nylon-6 fabrics using new thickening agents
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2008) Ibrahim, N. A.; Abo-Shosha, M. H.; Allam, E. A.; El-Zairy, E. M.
Printing of wool, silk, and nylon-6 substrates with acid dyes using new thickening agents based on free radical polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) with tamarind seed gum (TG) or karaya gum (KG) was investigated. The depth of the obtained prints follows the decreasing order: PAA/TG2>PAA/TG1>PAA/KG1>PAA/KG2>GG. Increasing the new thickener concentration up to 75g and steam fixation at 105 degrees C for 30 minutes gives higher K/S values. Printability substrates follows the descending order: wool>nylon-6>silk.
New thickening agents based on tamarind seed gum and karaya gum polysaccharides
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2010) Ibrahim, N. A.; Abo-Shosha, M. H.; Allam, E. A.; El-Zairy, E. M.
Wool, silk and nylon-6 fabric samples were printed with reactive dyes using new thickening agents based on polymerisation adducts of acrylic acid (AA) with tamarind seed gum (TG), or karaya gum (KG) in comparison with the conventional guar gum (GG) thickener. The obtained data indicate that: (i) the printing efficiency is governed by the performance of the thickening agents, i.e. PAA/TG2 > PAA/TG1 > PAA/KG1 > PAA/KG2 > GG, as well as the nature of substrate, i.e. wool > nylon-6 > silk, (ii) the K/S values and fastness properties of the printed fabrics are determined by the type of reactive dye, and (iii) optimal printing properties, i.e. higher depth along with better fastness ratings, were achieved by using a printing paste containing PAATTG2 (7.5%, w/w); reactive dye (30 g/kg); urea (50 g/kg); and citric acid (10 g/kg), followed by drying at 85 degrees C for 5 min, and steaming at 105 degrees C for 30 min.

New thickening agents for reactive printing of cellulosic fabrics
(JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2006) Ibrahim, N. A.; Abo-Shosha, M. H.; Allam, E.; El-Zairy, M. R.; El-Zairy, E. M.
Four adducts were prepared by polymerizing acrylic acid (AA) in presence of either a pyrodextrin (D) or gum Arabic (GA), and termed as PAA/D-1, PAA/D-2, PAA/GA(1), and PAA/GA(2). These adducts were utilized as thickeners in reactive printing of cotton fabric in comparison with Na-Alginate. Printing was carried out at different conditions including: NaHCO3 concentration (0-40 g/K), urea concentration (0-200 g/k), steaming temperature (100-130 degrees C) and time (5-35 min). At optimal NaHCO3 concentration (30 g/K) the depth of shade of the prints, expressed as K/S values, depended on the nature of the thickener used, and followed the descending order PAA/D2 > PAA/GA, > Na-Alginate >> PAA/D-1 >= PAA/GA(2). Accordingly, PAA/D-1 and PAA/GA(2) were omitted in subsequent trials. Optimal printing conditions were found to be NaHCO3 concentration (30 g/K), urea concentration (100 g/k), steaming temperature (110 degrees C), and time (15 min). The apparent viscosity of a printing paste, as well as both of K/S value and fastness properties of a print were governed by the nature of the reactive dye and type of thickener. Storing of a printing paste up to 7 days resulted in a decrease in its apparent viscosity along with a slight reduction in K/S value and a little variation in some fastness properties of prints.

Preparation and characterization of polyacrylic acid/karaya gum and polyacrylic acid/tamarind seed gum adducts and utilization in textile printing
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2008) Abo-Shosha, M. H.; Ibrahim, N. A.; Allam, E; El-Zairy, E.
Polymerization of 20% neutralized acrylic acid (Na form), AA, in presence of Karaya gum. KG, or tamarind seed gum, TG. at AA/gum weight ratio of 1/1 and 2/1 results in PAA/KG1, PAA/KG2, PAA/TG1 and PAA/TG2 adducts, respectively (where the suffix I or 2 stands for AA/gum ratios of 1/1 or 2/1). Infra red spectra of adducts are examined. Aqueous pastes of adducts, native gums and GG are of non-Newtonian thixotropic flow within a shear rate range of 4-40 s(-1). Adduct pastes (7.5% w/v) are of higher apparent viscosities (eta) than their native gums or GG, and pastes of TG adducts are of higher eta than KG adducts. Except for PAA/TG2 adduct, the power law does not correlate well to the other pastes. Preliminary trials showed that adducts are excellent thickeners for reactive and acid printing on wool, silk and nylon 6. Prints by adducts are of higher color strength than those by native gums or GG. GG paste was completely destroyed after storing for 7 days, whereas eta of pastes of adducts and native gums were noticeably decreased upon storing. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis and characterization of polyacrylic acid/dexy 85 and polyacrylic acid/gum arabic adducts
(JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2006) Abo-Shosha, M. H.; Ibrahim, N. A.; Allam, E.; El-Zairy, M. R.; El-Zairy, E. M.
Polyacrylic acid/gum arabic or polyacrylic acid/dextrin (PAA/GA or PAA/D) adducts were prepared by free radical polymerization of highly concentrated, partially neutralized AA using Na2S2O8/Na2S2O3 redox system in the presence of GA or D. Optimum reaction conditions, viz., AA, 6.76 mol/L; Na2S2O3, 26.87 X 10(-3) mol/L; Na2S2O8, 34.9 X 10(-3) mol/L; degree of neutralization, 20%; temperature, 90 degrees C; and time 30 min, were utilized in preparing two adducts of each substrate (GA or D) at two liquor ratios (LRs; 1.25/1 and 6.3/1 L/K). The four adducts formed, viz., PAA/GA,, PAA/GA, PAA/D,, and PAA/D-2 (where 1 and 2 refer to the low and high LR, respectively) were found to be water soluble at all proportions. IR spectrum of these adducts confirmed the introduction of the COOH group onto their structures. Rheological properties of 7%, aqueous solutions of these adducts, including Na-alginate (Alg), showed that all are characterized by a non-Newtonian, shear-thinning, thixotropic behavior. Within the range of shear rate studied, the apparent viscosities of these solutions followed the descending order: PAA/D2 > PAA/D-1 > Alg > GA(1) = PAA/GA(2). Completing neutralization (Na form) of adducts to 100% results in a remarkable enhancement of their apparent viscosities, so that they follow the descending order, depending on the shear rate: At 2 s(-1) shear rate: PAA/D-2 > PAA/D-1 = PAA/GA(1) > PAA/GA(2) > Alg At 18.89 s(-1) shear rate:PAA/D-2 > PAA/D-1 = PAA/GA(1) > Alg >= PAA/GA(2) At 40 s(-1) shear rate:PAA/D-2 > PAA/D-1 = PAA/GA(1) > PAA/GA(2) = Alg (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, hic.
