Abstract
Transport Behaviour of selected solvents through Epoxy Coated Grey Fabrics had been studied. The grey fabrics were formulated by coating the grey cotton (GC), grey nylon (GN), grey linen (GL), and grey polyester (GP) with epoxy resin in the Laboratory of the Department of Polymer and Textiles Engineering, Imo State. 20ml of Hydrogen peroxide was mixed with colbalt and methyl ethyl ketone to form mixture 1, 20ml of borax was mixed with cobalt, and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide to form mixture 2. 40ml of epoxy was measured out in a beaker and poured into a basin and 20ml each of mixture 1 and 2 were injected gradually at different points in the basin. The grey fabrics were then dipped in each of mixtures to form epoxy coated grey fabrics; Grey cotton treated with borax (GCB), Grey cotton treated with hydrogen peroxide (GCH), Grey cotton treated with hydrogen peroxide and borax (GCHB), Grey linen fabric treated with hydrogen peroxide (GLH), Grey linen fabric treated with borax (GLB), Grey linen fabric treated with hydrogen peroxide and borax (GLHB), Grey polyester fabric (GP), Grey polyester fabric treated with borax (GPB), Grey polyester fabric treated hydrogen peroxide polyester (GPH), Grey polyester fabric treated with hydrogen peroxide and borax (GPHB), Grey nylon treated with borax (GNB), Grey nylon treated with hydrogen peroxide (GNH), and Grey nylon treated with both borax and hydrogen peroxide (GNBH). The methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) and cobalt were used as catalyst and accelerator respectively. The grey fabrics were then dipped in the mixture of 1 and epoxy and 2 and epoxy to form epoxy coated grey fabrics and allowed to cool at room temperature. The epoxy grey coated fabrics were totally immersed in water bath at temperatures of 18°C and 27°C at intervals of 300 seconds until equilibrium was reached. Sorption properties were calculated using the molar percentage uptake (qt) obtained from molar uptake at equilibrium (qe). The results obtained were validated using the least square technique with Matlab software.
