Improvement surface properties of polypropylene and polyester fabrics by glow discharge plasma system under atmospheric condition

Atmosferik plasma işlemi uygulanmış poliester (PES) ve polipropilen (PP) dokuma kumaşların kir iticilik özelliği ve ıslanabilirliği incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, argon ve hava plazma PES ve PP kumaşların modifikasyonu için kullanılmıştır. PES ve PP kumaşların hidrofilliklerini değerlendirmek için, işlem görmemiş ve plazma işlemi görmüş materyallere kapilarite ve temas açısı ölçümleri uygulanmıştır. Plazma işlemi sonunda kumaş yüzeyinde meydana gelen kimyasal değişim Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and XPS ile belirlendi. Yüzey morfolojisi SEM ile değerlendirilmiştir.

Atmosferik glow deşarj plazma sistemi ile polipropilen ve poliester kumaşların yüzey özelliklerinin iyileştirilmesi

In order to raise wettability and to improve soil release of polyester (PES) and polypropylene (PP) woven fabrics, atmospheric pressure plasma were applied. In this study, argon and air plasma were used for modification of PES and PP fabrics. The capillary method and contact angle measurements of plasma treated and untreated textile materials were applied to evaluate the improvement in water uptake of PES and PP fabrics. Chemical changes in the fabric surface after atmospheric plasma treatments were determine by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and XPS. Their surface morphologies were evaluated by SEM.
