(1) Citric acid(CA) can be used as durable press agent of natural fiber fabrics. After during pad-dry-cure technique , ester crosslinking was formed between CA and fiber.

(2) The dyeability of the non-formaldehyde durable press finished cotton fabric after cationic modification was improved significantly, especially with pigment dyeing.

(3) The durable press on cotton fabrics with hydrolysed starches-glyoxal was studied in detail.

(4) At present, Di-Methylol Di-Hydroxy Ethylene Urea(DMDHEU, 2D resin for short) is the major durable press finishing agent.

(5) The polymer of maleic acid(PMA) was first prepared by water phase polymerization with maleic anhy_dride, and then esterified with citric acid(CA) to form PMA/ CA durable press finishing agent.

(6) The application of BTCA on textile finish was reviewed, including application on cotton fabric, silk and linen, and durable press, antimicrobial and comfortable functional finish were involved in.

(7) A new catalyst sodium nitrate( SN ) used for cotton fabric durable press finishing with BTCA was developed, which is non-phosphorus and environment-friendly.

(8) At last, the new trends of polycarboxylic acids as durable press finishing agents were also mentioned.

(9) The synthesis processes were optimized, and the effects of durable press finishing for cotton fabric were compared.

(10) In this paper, a thermal-reactive polyurethane(PU) is used for a silk fabric just as a durable press finishing agent.

(11) At present , Di - Methylol Di - Hydroxy Ethylene Urea ( DMDHEU, 2 D resin for short ) is durable press finishing agent.

(12) The optimal process of cationic modification of cotton fabric was investigated, which could improve the dyeability of durable press treated cotton fabric without affecting its wrinkle resistance .

(13) Wet steaming process can be applied to pretreatment, dyeing and durable press finish.

(14) Research indicates that is a novel non - formaldehyde durable press finishing agent worthy of research and development.

(15) These problems stimulated researchers throughout the world to seek methods for imparting durable press properties to cotton cloth.
