Pretreatments of Textiles Prior to Dyeing: Plasma Processing

摘要: Synthetic fibres have acquired an important part of the current textile industry. A great disadvantage some synthetic is their low surface energy. This causes poor wettability and dyeability. Surface modification techniques are mainly carried out to remove loosely bound materials, foreign particles/impurities improve hydrophilic nature thereby improving Manipulation characteristics materials fundamental importance in production advanced functional textiles. Textile can be classified two main groups: Natural Synthetic. animal origin or plant such as silk, wool, hair, jute, cotton, cellulose etc. whereas there a number manmade/synthetic viscose, polyester, polypropylene, nylon, PLA fibres, polyamide acrylic fibres. limited not sufficient always suitable for many applications. Hence greater present era. form industry, with polyester alone surpassing that cotton. Improving properties suitably very aspect processing. Low energy affects processing especially during wet treatments. The surfaces easily wetted, thus impeding application finishing compound colouring agents. In addition, hydrophobic polymer hinders water from penetrating into pores fabric. For applications it necessary modify textiles vice versa. Plasma has potential render change properties. Recent advances chemistry resulted imparting various decreased skin irritations, enhancing antimicrobial activity fragrance material. composition structure material plays role textile’s performance specific E.g. apparel / garment contact human could modified absorb body moisture while outside repel water. Several studies showed polymeric substrates altered through (Deshmukh Bhat, 2003 (a); Deshmukh Shetty, 2007; Jahagirdar Tiwari, 2004; Navaneetha P., et al., 2009; Yen 2006).
