Effect of Plasma on Dyeability of Fabrics

The Effect of Plasma Sputtering on Dye Ability of the Polyester/Wool Blends Fabrics

“…For the two-bath dyeing with both disperse and metal complex dyes, it is seen that, the relative color strength for the dyed fabrics is increased. However increasing the time of exposure to 5 min causes more increase in K/S factor and also other previous researches confirm the claim [27,29]. In the other point of view, the hue of the 5 min plasma treated fabric after dyeing was changed and the maximum absorption wavelength was shifted to lower wavelength.…”

“…As it is seen more amounts of dye particles on the surface of copper sputtered fabrics. So difference between SEM figures of treated and untreated samples shows better effect of plasma sputtering on the dye absorbance [27][28][29].…”

“…It is concluded that, the fastness of the copper particles is very good. After dyeing, the amount of copper is decreased but it is not noticeable [28][29][30].…”

“…It can be concluded that, plasma sputtering is more effective on natural dye absorption in comparison with mordant treatment. So by plasma sputtering more amounts of natural dyes can be absorbed on the surface of fabrics (especially on the wool fibres of fabrics) [27,29].…”

“…In the other point of view, the hue of the 5 min plasma treated fabric after dyeing was changed and the maximum absorption wavelength was shifted to lower wavelength. It causes of more amounts of copper on the surface after 5 min treatment [27,29].…”
