“…Cold plasma treatment is an extremely versatile technique for modifying polymer surfaces of totally different shapes. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] It has been reported that plasma treatment can improve polymer-polymer adhesion, 10,11 the best results being obtained when using oxygen plasma. 13,18,19 Therefore, in this investigation, which focused on polymerpolymer interaction (cellulose-chitosan) oxygen plasma treatment was applied.…”

Oxygen plasma treatment was applied in order to improve the adsorption of chitosan onto viscose fabric. Modification of the surface and adsorption of chitosan was monitored by determination of XPS spectra, determination of contact angles from rates of water imbibition, and conductometric titration. The plasma treatment resulted in hydrophilization of the surfaces through oxidation. The hydrophilic surfaces were stable for at least 24 h. The treatment also yielded binding sites that resulted in over 20% increase of the amount of chitosan adsorbed over that adsorbed on nontreated fabric. Layers of chitosan adsorbed after plasma treatment were substantially more active as antimicrobial agents than those on nontreated surfaces.

“…Gas plasma treatment of fibres is the next possibility of cellulose fibre surface activation for later chitosan adsorption. Cold plasma treatment is an extremely versatile technique for modifying the polymer surfaces of totally different shapes (Clark 1979et al, Wertheimer et al 1996, Kunaver et al 2004, Mozetic 2004, Morales et al 2006, Sharnina et al 1996, Tu et al 1994, Prabaharan et al 2005. It has been reported that plasma treatment can improve polymer-polymer adhesion (Clark et al 1979, Wertheimer et al 1996, the best results being obtained when using oxygen plasma (Carlsson 1991, Felix et al 1994, Couto et al 2002.…”

“…This causes disruption of the chemical bonds in the fibre polymer surface, which results in formation of new chemical species. The surface chemistry and surface topography can be affected and the specific surface area of fibres is significantly increased (Shishoo, 2007;Bogaerts et al, 2002;Sharnina et al, 1996). Both vacuum and atmospheric pressure technologies were studied to carry out plasma treatments (Bonizzoni and Vassallo, 2002;Tendero et al, 2006), but atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) devices seem to better meet the needs of textile industry, which requires fast, consistent and low footprint processes.…”
