It has been demonstrated that conditioned (dry) crease recovery of cotton fabric can be increased by partial esterification with monofunctional acid chlorides in dimethylform amide. In the range of C 8 through C 18 acid chlorides studied, the increase in dry-crease recovery varies linearly with the chain length of the added acyl group. Both odd- and even-numbered acyl groups and unsaturated and geometrical isomers have been con sidered. The unsaturated C 18 acid chlorides, oleoyl and elaidoyl, were found to be more effective than saturated C 18 acid at a similar D.S. The increase in conditioned crease recovery is suggested to be due to esterification in a nonaqueous medium at originally favored water adsorption sites in less ordered regions.
