Sorption of water-soluble anionic polymers by wool

The sorption by wool of two water-soluble, anionic polymers based on poly- (propylene oxide) with molecular weights in the range 3,000-10,000 has been in vestigated. Despite their high molecular weights, both polymers readily diffused into wool fibers under acidic conditions. Staining tests show tha...

Description
Summary:The sorption by wool of two water-soluble, anionic polymers based on poly- (propylene oxide) with molecular weights in the range 3,000-10,000 has been in vestigated. Despite their high molecular weights, both polymers readily diffused into wool fibers under acidic conditions. Staining tests show that the polymers are pref erentially sorbed into the orthocortex of the fibers.
