The global textile industry has an ongoing need for improved softening
products. Current materials systems, including those with siloxane
polymers, exhibit certain limitations such as yellowing, high cost, and low
softening efficiency.
Investigations into fabric softening mechanisms invoke molecular modeling
tools to simulate siloxane polymer and cotton fiber interactions at the
molecular level.
This research describes how certain polymer types exhibit fundamentally
enhanced siloxane and fiber interactions within particular pH ranges. This
research adds insight into efforts to understand fabric-softening
phenomena.
