Chitin is an abundant regenerated resource in the nature, and its content just less than protein matter as a nitrogenous matter. So we do the systemic and overall research on it for using in textile field. As an organic macromolecule, Chitin is the unique animalized cellulose fiber. Our country is abundant in ocean resource and has a great deal of chitin, how to make good use of these wastes is a principal problem. And in this paper we analyse the property of chitin and how to utilize in textile industry.As a new textile material, Chitin is widely focused for its special performance. It not only a textile material as conventional fibers, but also new special material what can meet the high requirement of nowadays. It has great serviceability of comfort property and micro-organism resistance.At present, most of us know about the compatibility and bacteria repellency of this new material, but not familiar with its specific molecular structure and bacteria repellency, and there is few study about chitin's dyeing.In this condition, we use scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometry, and infrared spectrum to test chitin fibers configuration, microfine structure, physical and mechanical performance. All of these synthetic tests can reveal chitin fibers internal structure and mechanism, so that we can get more knowledge about this new textile material.In addition, dyeing is an important aspect of textile industry, but the study about chitin product's dyeing behavior is not too much. In our study, we use different types of dyestuffs for testing chitin fibers dyeing behavior, such as reactive dyes and direct dyes. In testing course, we take notes about these dyes' diffusion, dyeing rate and fixation yield. And compare these test results with cotton fiber, viscose fiber which are dyed in the same circumstance. Blended fabrics can get the best effect of dyeing after these actual experimentations.As we all known, fibers property must effect the fabric and garments' property. In...
