Abstract
The kinetics of the creaseβresistant finishing process for cotton fabrics with DMEU/MMEU prepolymer mixture are studied. The DMEU/MMEU prepolymer resin is made from ethylene urea (EU) and paraformaldehyde (PF) with different mole ratios. The results show that the nitrogen content in the treated fabrics and the reaction rate constant increases with curing temperature and PF mole ratio. The treated fabrics with more PF in the source material have smaller E~a~, Ξ H*ast;, and Ξ__S__*. The Ξ__G__* was independent of the mole ratio in the source material, but it increases with curing temperature. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 85: 509β513, 2002

Ethylene urea and paraformaldehyde with different mole ratios are used as source materials to synthesize dimethylol ethylene urea/monomethylol ethylene urea (DMEU/MMEU) prepolymer resin. The DMEU/MMEU prepolymer resin is then applied to cotton fabrics for wrinkle-resistant finishing. The influence o
