Anti-reflective coating for the deep coloring of PET fabrics using an atmospheric pressure plasma technique

Chemical Vapor Deposition Enhanced by Atmospheric Pressure Non‐thermal Non‐equilibrium Plasmas

“…[23,24] Still other organosilicon precursors, namely, hexamethyldisilane (HMDS) and tris(trimethylsilyloxy)vinylsilane (TTMSVS) have been used with S. E. Alexandrov, M. L. Hitchman/CVD with Atmospheric Pressure Plasmas a DBD discharge to improve polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabric coloring effects arising from the deposition of an anti-reflective coating. [36] FTIR of the deposited films showed the presence of the Si±O±Si peak at 1050 cm ±1 . It was suggested that the Si±O bonding process is enhanced by more oxygen being present during deposition, which is consistent with the fact that films obtained from TTMSVS, a precursor with intrinsic Si±O bonds, showed a higher intensity of the Si±O±Si peak than films deposited from HMDS.…”

Substrate Independent Dyeing of Synthetic Textiles Treated with Low-Pressure Plasmas

“…The work of Ferrero et al (2004) has shown that the fastness to washing with basic dye on PET by in situ polymerization of acrylic acid using low temperature plasma was found to be unsatisfactory probably because of an unstable bond between grafted acrylic acid and dye molecules. Anti-reflecting coating layers have been deposited with organo-silicon compounds using APP plasma, which enhanced the color intensity on PET surfaces as explained by Lee et al (2001). Okuno et at.…”

Enhancing the chroma of pigmented polymers using antireflective surface structures

“…In display technology antireflective coatings fabricated using thin film technologies can be used to improve the contrast ratio [10,11]. Within the textile industry various coatings applied to fabrics made from dyed polyethylene terephthalate have been used to improve the color by limiting surface reflections from the single fabric fibers [12].…”
