Synthesis and Characterization of Polyvinylimidazole and Investigation of its Antipilling Effect on Different Fabrics

Pilling is one of the biggest problems for all types fabrics in textile industry. To improve pilling values fabrics, some methods have been reported. One most useful chemical finishing. In this study, method used. A key differentiator study fact that we synthesized polymer employed as an anti-pilling agent ourselves and does not negatively affect hydrophilicity brightness parameters chemicals do. As polymer, polyvinylimidazole (PVIM) applied to different aim reducing tendency these fabrics. We achieved nearly 1.5-2 grades improvement generally obtained grade: 4.5-5.0, means no pills on fabric surface. Also, it has proven PVIM can be used without negative effects terms hydrophilicity, handle. market under Rudolf-Duraner product list, defined polymer: EPW 18042.
