Antisoiling of polyester (PET) by a novel method of plasma treatments and its evaluation by color measurement

Abstract: Direct current and radiofrequency plasma treatment of different durations were given to polyester fabric to impart soil resistance. The soil repellency increased with increasing time of treatment. The possible mechanism of soil repellency is outlined. The evaluation of soiling has been made from CIE brightness variable Y with source D65 using Minolta Chromameter Reflectance II. This was well in agreement with the conventional reflectance measurement method using spectrophotometer. The plasma treatment system h… Show more

“…The applications of plasma treatment in textiles have been widely investigated, with a focus on improving several properties such as wettability, water repellency, soiling, soil release, printing, dyeing, and finishing processes. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Plasma treatments in textiles were generally carried out under low pressure (high vacuum). However, low-pressure plasma treatment for textiles is likely to be a batch process, which is time and energy consuming and therefore may not be economically feasible for many applications.…”

“…Research groups have modified the surface morphology of textile materials using a plasma process to enhance certain properties 4, 5. It has been established that plasma treatment plays a key role in the enhancement of properties of textile fibers and fabrics, such as wettability, water repellency, desizing, and dyeing, for example 6–13. Attempts have also been made to measure the free radicals generated by plasma treatment with the help of electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy14, 15 and their applications in the finishing of textile materials 1…”

“…Thus, for example, it could be applied to treatment of fabrics in order to make them dirtrepellent. 34 The consideration given above shows that a fabric modification decreasing the interfacial tension of the water-fabric interface will result in easier dirt removal from the fabric in washing. Another example is the synthesis of separating membranes.…”
