Moisture management of polypropylene non-woven fabric using microcrystalline cellulose through surface modification

This paper reports a new method for improving the liquid moisture management properties of polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric. The method involves the generation of a rigid polyvinylsilanetriols structure by hydrolysis of vinyltriethoxysilane and subsequent grafting of microcrystalline cellulose (M...

The method involves the generation of a rigid polyvinylsilanetriols structure by hydrolysis of vinyltriethoxysilane and subsequent grafting of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) onto the activated polypropylene non-woven fabric by free radicle mechanism using hydrogen peroxide resulting into covalently bonded cellulose through PP-Si-O-Si- linkage.
