Feasibility of Inspection of Fungicidal Finishes on Textiles by X-Ray, Infrared and Ultrasonic Methods

Abstract

A series of methods for determining the amount of copper-8- quinolinolate on a cellulose textile have been investigated. Several methods were selected for detailed calculations and experimental confirmation. These included x-ray fluorescence, dual energy x-ray transmission, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and ultrasonic pulse (transmission mode). The results of these experiments prove feasibility for continuous and large-scale inspection coverage of copper-8-quinolinolate-treated cotton duck. Moreover, these inspection techniques can provide inspection for the entire variety of circumstances to be encountered. These methods are extensible to other treatments and textiles. Systems designs for x-ray, FTIR, and UT systems are presented. These system design utilize existing technology and require only small changes to commercial instrumentation. A Phase II program that provides delivered prototype of all instruments is proposed. Keywords: X-Ray fluorescence; X-Ray scattering; Ultrasonic test; Fungicides; Copper compounds; Cotton textiles; Infrared test; Quality control; Textile.
