“…The modification on materials by LTP may result in the surface etching, forming cross-linked structure and introducing specific functional groups to change the surface characteristics of materials such as hydrophilic, adhesion, dyeing, and biological compatibility. Therefore, applying this technique to chemical engineering realm of leather-making will bring new methods to the traditional industry of leather making [9]. In the tanning process, the nature leather fiber treated by LTP may introduce active groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino etc., which can improve the cross-linking ability between inorganic metal chrome tanning agents and the fibers It could not only improve leather surface energy, but also enhance its cross-linking ability with inorganic metal tanning agents or organic tanning agents [9].…”

Abstract. Substantial quantities of solid and liquid wastes generate in the chrome tanning process, posing major environmental problem if not managed effectively. In order to minimize the emissions of chromium, a high exhaustion chromium tanning method was designed in this study. Low temperature plasma (LTP) technology has the characteristics of economy, pollution-free and high efficiency. The pioneering works were carried out by applying LTP to surface modification of natural leather before tanning process. The effects of different treatment time on micro-structure, chemical compositions, active groups, tanning absorption rate of leather fiber were studied. The SEM results showed that the leather surface was etched rougher. The XPS data showed that the O1s area ratios increased from 18.8 % to 27.6 % after O2 LTP treatment. The optimal O2 plasma treatment time is 10min. The results show O2 LTP treatment effectively improves the chrome tanning absorption rate from 78.68 % of conventional process to 94.47 % of the novel process, which reduces the emission of heavy metal chromium and protects the environment.

“…Their physical and chemical properties after plasma treatment were examined in detail as well. But there are a few studies investigated the effect of plasma on the properties of non-carbonic base surfaces and needs more investigations [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The aim of this paper is to utilize atmospheric pressure helium plasma jet on Raw and Frit glaze surfaces to improve their paintability and explore the effect of the plasma on their surface properties which seems not fully understood so far.…”

In this study, non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) was utilized to improve the adhesion of Raw and Frit glazes. These glazes are widely used in industry to make chinaware, decorative dishes and tiles applied at wall and floor. As they should be painted before use, increasing their adhesive properties leads to a better paint durability. Electrical and optical characteristics of the plasma jet are investigated to optimize for efficient treatment. Contact angle measurement and surface energy calculation demonstrate a drastic increase after the plasma treatment indicating wettability and paintability enhancement. Moreover, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses were performed on the specimens to explore the influence of helium plasma jet on the physical and chemical properties of the glazes, microscopically. AFM analysis reveals surface etching resulted from the bombardment of the solid surfaces by the APPJ using helium fed gas. The process aims to enhance adhesive properties of glaze surfaces.

“…Several research groups investigated the hydrophobicity enhancement of polymers and fabrics using plasmas fed with fluorocompounds, e.g. tetrafluoromethane (CF 4 ) [10], sulphur exafluoride (SF 6 ) [11], exafluoroethane (C 2 F 6 ) [12], exafluoropropene (C 3 F 6 ) [13], etc. It was found that plasma fed with small molecules (e.g.…”

This paper describes the development of a plasma process to produce a durable water repellent and anti-stain thin film on synthetic textile, utilized for the upholstery in the automotive field. The coatings were deposited in non equilibrium low pressure plasmas fed with 1H, 1H, 2H-perfluo-ro-1-decene employing, as substrates, polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene terephthalate thermo-coupled to polyurethane foam. It was found that the XPS F/C ratio of the deposit was higher than 1.4 and that the treated textile was always very hydrophobic (WCA > 140˚) and oil resistant (motor oil CA > 110˚), even after wear.
