Abstract
Fabrication of deodorizing fabric was tried by grafting metal phthalocyanine derivative, a catalytic deodorant, onto polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric. Fe(III)-4,4′,4″,4‴-tetra carboxamide phthalocyanine (Fe-TCMP) was synthesized. The Fe-TCMP showed high-deodorizing performance when tested for the elimination of 2-mercaptoethanol, an index material for bad-smelling compounds. The Fe-TCMP was converted to Fe(III)-4,4′,4″,4‴-tetracarboxylic acid phthalocyanine (Fe-TCAP) by hydrolysis to have carboxyl groups. It was chemically grafted on the surface of PP nonwoven fabric, which was surface modified to have amine groups with diaminocyclohexane (DACH) plasma. Such fabricated deodorizing fabric showed high-deodorizing performance for 2-mercaptoethanol.
