Influence of aminopropyl/vinyl/silsesquioxane post‐treatment on the colour performance of pigment‐based inks on ink‐jet‐printed polyester fabrics

The present research manages the utilisation of post‐treatment coating solutions of aminopropyl/vinyl/silsesquioxane (APSV) for ink‐jet printing of polyester with CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and key [black]) pigmented water‐based ink‐jet inks. The proposed protocols could effectively fix the pigment...

Description
Summary:The present research manages the utilisation of post‐treatment coating solutions of aminopropyl/vinyl/silsesquioxane (APSV) for ink‐jet printing of polyester with CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and key [black]) pigmented water‐based ink‐jet inks. The proposed protocols could effectively fix the pigment colours on polyester at a low relieving temperature under the thermal initiation or ultraviolet (UV)‐radiation of vinyl terminated groups in APSV compared to the commercial textile binders. The colorimetric data and fixation, antistatic properties, roughness and durability of the ink‐jet‐printed samples were studied. The outcomes demonstrated that APSV successfully fixed the pigment‐based ink‐jet inks on polyester fabric, and could achieve significantly higher colour performance and degree of fixation than the commercial textile binders. The APSV‐post‐treated examples had durable antistatic properties and soft handle. The durability tests indicated that the ink‐jet‐printed polyester fabrics post‐treated with APSV retained a higher degree of fixation and antistatic properties after 10 launderings. In general, the outcomes revealed that APSV can be successfully utilised as a pigment binding agent, eliminate all determinant drawbacks in works of literature for treatment of fabrics in ink‐jet printing application, such as the fabric handles and the many approached methods. Moreover, it showed a good durable antistatic finish for the post‐treatment of ink‐jet‐printed polyester fabrics.
