Abstract:
The invention relates to a treatment method, which promotes the removal of dirt, for the surfaces of textiles and non-textiles. According to said method, cationically modified, hydrophilic nanoparticles, based on cross-linked polymers, are applied from an aqueous dispersion to the surface of the materials. Said cross-linked polymers consist of (a) between 60 and 99.99 wt. % of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing carboxyl groups, or the salts thereof, (b) between 0 and 40 wt. % of one or more water-insoluble, monoethylenically unsaturated monomers, (c) between 0.01 and 30 wt. % of one or more ethylenically polyunsaturated monomers, (d) between 0 and 25 wt. % of one or more monomers containing sulphonic acid and/or phosphonic acid, or the salts thereof, (e) between 0 and 30 wt. % of one or more water-soluble, non-ionic monomers. The dispersion of the hydrophilic nanoparticles can be stabilised with anionic, non-anionic and/or betainic emulsifiers and/or protective colloids. The hydrophilic nanoparticles have a particle size of between 10 and 2 mu m and are modified cationically by covering their surface with one or more cationic polymers, one or more polyvalent metallic ions and/or one or more cationic surfactants.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing multi-layered surface structures, particles or fibres. Said method comprises the following steps: the reactive polycarboxylic acid or a derivative thereof is applied to a flat, particle or fibre-shaped support material which already contains the groups which can react with polycarboxylic acid or a derivative thereof, in order to form a covalent connection or is initially provided with said groups; (b) the carrier material treated in step a is, optionally, heated to between 60 °C to 130 °C, preferably to 80 °C to 120 °C due to acceleration, completion or additional optimisation of the covalent connections; (c) cellulose is applied to the carrier material which can form a covalent connection with the polycarboxylic acid or the derivatives thereof. The invention also relates to the use of the inventive method for producing multi-layered surface structures, particles or fibres for hydrophilizing surfaces, in particular for promoting adhesion between hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials and to improve the washability of synthetic fibres. The surfaces which are hydrophilizied by said method form the flat, particle or fibre-shaped carrier material.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to particulate, linear, sheet-like, or three-dimensional structures which comprise, at least on their surface, a hydrophilicizing amount of at least one polymer which has urethane groups and/or urea groups, and also ammonium groups. The ammonium groups are obtained by quaternizing or neutralizing tertiary amino groups, preferably with carbonic acid.
Abstract:
The process for producing multilayered sheetlike structures, particles or fibers comprises the steps of (a) applying a reactive polycarboxylic acid or one of its derivatives atop a sheetlike, particulate or fibrous carrier material already comprising, or previously provided with, groups reactive toward, capable of covalent bonding with, the polycarboxylic acid or one of its derivatives, (b) if appropriate heating the carrier material treated in step (a) to a temperature in the range from 60° C. to 130° C. and preferably to a temperature in the range from 80° C. to 120° C. to hasten, complete or further optimize the covalent bonds, (c) applying atop the carrier material a cellulose capable of covalent bonding with the polycarboxylic acid or its derivatives. The present invention further relates to the use of the present invention's process for production of multilayered sheetlike structures, particles or fibers for hydrophilicizing surfaces, in particular for adhesion promotion between hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials and for improving the washability of synthetic fibers, the surfaces which are hydrophilicized by the process forming the sheetlike, particulate or fibrous carrier material.
Abstract:
The use of polyacrylic acid (I) with an average mol. wt. (M w) of 5000-30000 and with end groups containing sulfur and at least 2 carbon atoms, which is at least partly neutralised with alkali metal hydroxide or ammonia, as auxiliary material for the wet-milling of calcium carbonate. Independent claims are also included for finely-divided suspensions of CaCO 3 containing 0.1-2 wt% (I), obtained by wet-milling in presence of (I).
