“…The authors concluded that DBD plasma treatment can be considered as an excellent solution for promoting the functional performance of textile products finished with PCM microcapsules, achieving more durable properties, and so contributing to the sustainability of innovative textiles. Bozaci et al [119] treated flax fibers with argon and air atmospheric-pressure plasmas under various plasma powers to improve interfacial adhesion between the flax fibers and high density polyethylene (HDPE) and unsaturated polyester. They found that the interfacial adhesion of argon plasma-treated flax fibers and HDPE matrix was superior to those of air-treated and untreated flax fiber.…”

In recent years, plasma treatment technology has attracted more attention in the textile industry, as it seems to be a promising economically and ecologically sound alternative to conventional wet-chemical processing techniques. Plasma surface treatment is a relatively simple process that is clean, solvent-free, time saving, and environmentally friendly. Moreover, plasma treatments offer the possibility to obtain typical textile finishes without changing the key textile properties. The efficiency of plasma treatment depends on several factors including the nature of the substrate and the treatment operating conditions. However, the application of plasma technology to different kinds of textile materials has not been fully exploited. This paper presents a review of the current literature on the surface modification of textiles by lowtemperature plasma (LTP) technology. Its main objectives are to (i) investigate the influence of LTP treatment on the surface properties of natural and man made textile materials, (ii) outline the contribution of LTP treatment towards sustainable development, and (iii) examine the hurdles that LTP has to overcome in the textile industry.

“…An autoclave process technique combined with He cold plasma treatment of flax F increased the moisture resistance and stiffness of the resulting flax F-UPE composites (Marais et al 2005). The air plasma was more efficient than the Ar plasma in terms of the ILSS of the resulting flax F-UPE composites (Bozaci et al 2013). The ILSS, tensile strength, and flexural strength of jute F-UPE composites were increased significantly by air plasma treatment (Demir et al 2011).…”

“…The plasma treatment with glow discharged He increased the ILSS of jute F-UPE composites (Kafi et al 2012). In summary, fibers of flax, jute, hemp, wood, and ramie have been extensively studied as reinforcements in polymeric composites (Sinha and Panigrahi 2009;Acda et al 2012;Zhou et al 2012;Bozaci et al 2013;Kalia et al 2013), but this is not the case for BF and BF-UPE composites.…”

Oxygen plasma treatment of bamboo fibers (BF) and its effects on the static and dynamic mechanical properties of BF-unsaturated polyester composites

A novel method for the preparation of bamboo fibers (BF) has been investigated that includes crushing, rolling, and other combing techniques with 1,4-butanediol as a dispersant. The fibers were treated by oxygen plasma to improve their interfacial adhesion to unsaturated polyester (UPE) resins. Composites were prepared from the plasma treated fibers (BF tr ) and UPE by hand layup compression molding. BF tr significantly increased the tensile strength, flexural strength, and flexural modulus of the resulting BF-UPE composites. Dynamic mechanical analysis indicated that the plasma treatment essentially increased the storage modulus and glass transition temperature of the composites. The damping parameter of the composites showed a decreasing trend in the glassy region, while the opposite was true for the rubbery region. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the treatment did not change the crystal structures within the fibers but increased slightly their crystallinity indices. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed that the surface of BF tr had a higher oxygen concentration and oxygen/carbon ratio than that of BF. The scanning electron microscopy graphs of the tensile-fractured surface of the composites demonstrated an improved interfacial adhesion between BF tr and UPE resins.
