Problems solved by technology

However, the above studies also show that the enzymatic cross-linking modification of wool fiber itself by MTG can only improve a few properties such as strength, anti-felting, and anti-wrinkle, but cannot endow wool with more functions.

Abstract

A method for improving flame retardance of wool by bioenzyme treatment is disclosed, belonging to the field of textile biotechnology. The invention utilizes a catalytic action of transglutaminase (MTG) to graft a type of compounds containing primary amino groups and a large number of phosphorus elements onto the wool so as to improve the flame retardance of the wool, the technological procedures comprise: pretreatment, treatment with a phosphoric finishing agent containing the MTG, water rinsing and drying. Wool yarns and fabrics treated by the inventive technology can not only be improved inthe flame retardance, but also be enhanced in some other performances to a certain extent, in particularly the strength of the wool yarns and the fabrics is enhanced to play a role of powerful repair, which is outstandingly superior to other flame-retardant finishing agents or flame-retardant finishing technologies. In addition, in contrast to chemical finishing, the invention is healthier and more environmentally-friendly due to the employment of bioenzyme technique and the pollution-free treatment technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for grafting some flame-retardant chemical substances onto wool by using the catalysis of transglutaminase to improve the flame-resistance of wool, which belongs to the field of textile biotechnology. Background technique [0002] Wool belongs to the fibrous protein of keratin, contains more cysteine, cystine, methionine, etc., and is a cross-linked polypeptide with a folded molecular structure. Because wool has high nitrogen content and is easy to absorb moisture, it has high ignition temperature, low heat of combustion and low flame temperature, so it shows high flame retardancy. However, due to the addition of some additives to the made wool fabric, the flame retardant performance is reduced, which makes the wool fiber easy to burn, which greatly limits the safety and practicality of wool. Therefore, it is very realistic to carry out flame retardant treatment to reduce its flammability. significance. [0003] At p...
