U. Denter et E. Schollmeyer, SURFACE MODIFICATION OF SYNTHETIC AND NATURAL FIBERS BY FIXATION OF CYCLODEXTRIN DERIVATIVES, Journal of inclusion phenomena and molecular recognition in chemistry, 25(1-3), 1996, pp. 197-202
It is demonstrated that cyclodextrin derivatives can be fixed permanen
tly onto polymer surfaces by functional groups using conventional tech
nologies of textile processing. As a result of the modification proces
s some properties of the fibres are directly influenced. But also spec
ial effects may be obtained by complexing specific chemical substances
, because the fixed cyclodextrin cavities do not loose their complexin
g power. Conceivable fields of application are medical or technical te
xtiles and textiles for clothing.
