Abstract

Abstract Rubber adhesion properties of fibrous polyester materials are improved by a process which comprises applying a solution of an amine compound, such as polyethylene imine, to said fibrous material, subjecting the resulting fibrous material to heat treatment and then treating said fibrous material with an organic solvent solution of a polycarboxylic acid halide such as adipic acid dichloride.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim 91 words
Process for the treatment of polyesters impart enhanced rubber adhesion thereto which comprises applying to a polyester, a solution of an amine compound having at least two primary or secondary amino groups, subjecting the resulting polyester to heat treatment at a temperature above 50*C. and below the melting point of the polyester, then treating the heat treated polyester with a solution of an aliphatic or aromatic polycarboxylic acid halide having at least two acid halide groups in an organic solvent, and evaporating the solvent, whereby enhanced rubber adhesion is imparted thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 91 words
Process for the treatment of polyesters impart enhanced rubber adhesion thereto which comprises applying to a polyester, a solution of an amine compound having at least two primary or secondary amino groups, subjecting the resulting polyester to heat treatment at a temperature above 50*C. and below the melting point of the polyester, then treating the heat treated polyester with a solution of an aliphatic or aromatic polycarboxylic acid halide having at least two acid halide groups in an organic solvent, and evaporating the solvent, whereby enhanced rubber adhesion is imparted thereto.
