Abstract
An enzyme-based process was applied in finishing viscose fabrics, which
are very susceptible to pilling because of individual loose fibres ends which
protrude from surface, and impurities and fuzzes. A commercial enzyme of
cellulase type Econase CE (Röhm Enzyme Finland Oy) and experimental cellulases
such as endoglucanase II (EGII), cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI) and cellulase
enriched with EGII (Cell, F) from the Trichoderma reesei strain prepared at
VTT Biotechnology, Finland were used for modification of viscose-woven
fabrics. This paper presents some results of studies concerning the estimation
of the effect of enzymatic treatment on the changes in molecular and
morphological structure of viscose-woven fabrics.
