Article summary:
1. Alpha-Lipoic acid was used to prepare anti-crease cotton fabrics without formaldehyde release for the first time.
2. The tensile strength of the anti-crease cotton fabric was higher than the pristine cotton.
3. The hydrophilicity of anti-crease cotton fabric was superior to that treated by BTCA and DMDHEU.
Article analysis:
The article is generally reliable and trustworthy, as it provides a detailed overview of the research conducted on the development of hydrophilic anti-crease finishing method for Cotton fabric using alpha-Lipoic acid without causing strength loss and formaldehyde release problem. It is well written and provides a comprehensive overview of the research conducted, including an explanation of the mechanism between ALA and cellulose through esterification, disulfide breaking and reconstruction, and anti-crease mechanism based on topological disulfide bridges among cellulosic molecules. The article also provides evidence for its claims in terms of characterization analyses of cross-linked ALA and poly(α-lipoic acid).
The only potential bias in this article is that it does not provide any counterarguments or explore any possible risks associated with using alpha-Lipoic acid as an anti-crease agent. However, this is likely due to the fact that this is a research paper rather than a news article or opinion piece, so it is not expected to present both sides equally or explore counterarguments or risks associated with its findings.
