Abstract
Citric acid ester is prepared with citric acid monomer,and then applied to anti-crease finish of cotton fabric.The influences of time,temperature and catalyst on esterification rate are discussed by single factor analysis and orthogonal experiments.The optimum synthesis process are reaction at 60 ℃ for 75 min with 2 mL catalyst per 10 g citric acid.The mixture of citric acid and citric acid ester with esterification rate of 58.57% has better finishing effect,and the finished fabric features obviously improved crease recovery angle and capillary effect,and a little decreased whiteness and strength.
