Different Surface Modification of Poly (Ethylene Terephthalate) and Polyamide 66 Fibers by Atmospheric Air Plasma Discharge and Laser Treatment: Surface Morphology and Soil Release Behavior

Surface modification of polyamide 12 angioplasty balloons by photochemical reaction with an aromatic azide

“…Over time, the advantages of having a permanent modification have become evident. A large and diverse group of methods has been developed to modify the surface characteristics of polymers, including radiation grafting, corona, laser or plasma treatments, graft copolymerization, or modification of specific functional groups . To date, only a few papers have been published on surface modification of PA12, and they were almost limited to plasma treatments …”

“…A large and diverse group of methods has been developed to modify the surface characteristics of polymers, including radiation grafting, corona, laser or plasma treatments, graft copolymerization, or modification of specific functional groups. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] To date, only a few papers have been published on surface modification of PA12, and they were almost limited to plasma treatments. [13][14][15][16][17] In this work, we describe a method that allows surface modification of PA12 through the photoreaction of the polymer with an aromatic azide (ArAz).…”

CO2 Laser Dye Patterning for Textile Design and Apparel Manufacture

“…Within a textile engineering context regarding synthetic fabrics, laser technology can modify surface fibres through laser beam interaction as studied by: Shahidi & Wiener [1]; Lau et al [2]; Bahtiyari [3]; Kan [4,5]; Shahidi et al [6]; Nourbakhsh & Ebrahimi [7], for example. This interaction changes the physical material properties of synthetic fibres such as polyester (PET), altering the polymeric molecular chains of substrates.…”

Digital Laser-dyeing for Polyester Fabrics

“…The effects of laser modification on the coloration properties of some synthetic fibers have been identified in previous academic studies such as Shahidi et al (2013), Nourbakhsh and Ebrahimi (2012), Bahtiyari (2011), Yip et al (2002), and Kan (2008a and2008b). Current knowledge about laser-modified textiles centers on synthetic fibers regarding the effect on dyeing properties as investigated by Yip et al (2002), for example.…”

“…Scientific and technical approaches currently dominate this research area (Kan 2008a and2008b;Nourbakhsh and Ebrahimi 2012). Investigation typically occurs in disciplines such as Textile Chemistry, Textile Engineering, and Material Science, for example.…”
