“…It is indicated that bombardment of plasma on the cotton fabric enables the initiation of chemical reaction and leads to alteration of chemical composition of the cotton fabric, i.e. increase of hydrophilic groups such as OH, C=O and COO -that can improve hydrophilicity of the fabric (Zhang et al 2008;Ceach et al 2002;Pappas et al 2006). Besides, transmittance intensity of plasma-treated fabric was lower than that of the untreated fabric.…”

Cotton fabrics were treated with oxygen plasma gas and/or wrinkle-resistant finishing agent with polycarboxylic acid. The results of wicking rate, contact angle and wettability tests revealed that the atmospheric plasma treatment significantly improved hydrophilicity of cotton fiber. Such improvement greatly enhances the effectiveness of post-finishing processes. The study showed that chemical composition of cotton fabric surface changed after plasma and wrinkle-resistant treatment. Chemical composition of surface of treated cotton specimens was evaluated with different characterization methods, namely, FTIR-ATR and EDX. The experimental results are thoroughly discussed.

In addition, the spectra about the characteristic bands related to the flame-retardant-treated specimen's chemical structure are carbonyl bands, CH 2 rocking band and CH 3 asymmetric and CH 2 symmetric stretching as presented in Fig.…”

Effect of zinc oxide on flame retardant finishing of plasma pre-treated cotton fabric

An organic phosphorus compound (flame retardant agent, FR) in combination with a melamine resin (crosslinking agent, CL), phosphoric acid (catalyst, PA) and zinc oxide (co-catalyst, ZnO/ nano-ZnO) imparted effective and durable flame retardant properties. Also, atmospheric pressure plasma jet was applied as pre-treatment to improve post-finishing (flame retardant finishing) on cotton fabrics. In the present paper, surface morphology, chemical structure analysis, combustibility and mechanical properties of plasma pre-treated cotton fabrics subjected to flame-retardant treatment were investigated. Surface morphology of treated cotton specimens showed roughened and wrinkled fabric surface with high deposition of the flame retardant finishing agent, which was caused by the plasma etching effect and attack of acidic FR. The FTIR-ATR spectra for the treated cotton specimens showed some new characteristic peaks in chemical structure, interpreted as carbonyl bands, OH stretching vibration, COO -stretching vibration, CH 2 rocking band and CH 3 asymmetric and CH 2 symmetric stretching. Moreover, FR-CL-PA-treated specimens showed remarkable flame-retardant property, which was further improved by the plasma pre-treatment and ZnO/ nano-ZnO co-catalyst. However, flame-retardanttreated cotton specimens had poor mechanical strength when compared with control sample, resulting from side effects of the crosslinking agent used, while plasma pre-treatment and ZnO/nano-ZnO co-catalyst may compensate for the reduction in tensile and tearing strength caused by flame-retardant agents.

“…However, due to its surface smoothness and chemical inactivity, PBO fiber has a low interfacial adhesion with the matrix resin, which greatly hampers its applications [3][4][5][6]. Aiming to enhance the surface free energy and to improve the wettability of PBO, varied surface modification techniques, such as methanesulfonic acid (MSA) treatment, oxygen plasma treatment and enzymatic surface modification [7][8][9][10][11], have been proposed in the past several years.…”
