THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF COATED TEXTILE FABRICS

Abstract

INFORMATION ON THE APPLICATION OF DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL ANALYSIS (DTA) to studies on the thermal behavior of textile fabrics and coatings is discussed. Effects of important experimental variables on the DTA curves are described; new data on cellulosic and acrylic fibers is presented. A survey of techniques and instrumentation in the area of dynamic thermogravimetric analysis is discussed. Work on the pyrolytic degradation of cotton, nylon, Neoprene W, butyl rubber, Hypalon-20 and fabric-coating combinations is presented. Some pyrolyzates were analyzed by paper chromatography and classical organic techniques. The pyrolysis data obtained gave corraborative evidence for the chemical nature of all fabric-coating interactions between cotton and nylon and the three elastomers used as coatings. (Author)
