Abstract

Viscose fibres were finished with a blend of a nonionic fatty acid ethoxylate and a quarternary ammonium derivative. Zeta potential and static charging were investigated as a function of a cationic compound. There is strong evidence that the charging of the viscose fibres depends on the chemical nature of the surfactants side-groups.
