“…The effect of argon/oxygen atmospheric DBD treatment on desizing and scouring of PVA on cotton fabric was studied regarding the treatment duration by Peng et al Solubility measurement revealed that plasma treatment increased PVA solubility in hot washing but was less effective in cold washing. The results of the yarn tensile strength test showed that the plasma treatment did not have a negative effect on fabric tensile strength . The same author also investigated the moisture influences in the desizing of PVA on cotton fabrics treated with an APPJ.…”

Plasma technology applied to textiles is a dry, environmentally‐ and worker‐friendly method to achieve surface alteration without modifying the bulk properties of different materials. In particular, atmospheric non‐thermal plasmas are suited because most textile materials are heat sensitive polymers and applicable in a continuous processes. In the last years plasma technology has become a very active, high growth research field, assuming a great importance among all available material surface modifications in textile industry. The main objective of this review is to provide a critical update on the current state of art relating plasma technologies applied to textile industry.

“…Therefore, the wicking behaviour of the untreated cotton was not good as depended greatly on the inherent water absorbance property. However, the wicking of laser-treated samples was improved significantly due to the presence of the laser-induced sponge-like structure (Peng et al 2009) because the pores could increase the capillary action (Malek and Holme 2003). As a result, the wicking time of the laser-treated cotton samples was reduced from 2,388 to 1,668 s. …”

Effect of CO2 laser treatment on cotton surface

In this study, CO 2 laser was used for treating cotton fabric to create surface effects which were found to vary with laser process parameters, i.e. resolution and pixel time. The resolutions used were 40, 50 and 60 dpi while the pixel time used were 100, 110 and 120 ls. Both physical and chemical properties at the surface of fabrics treated with different combinations of resolution and pixel time were analysed by the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy with Attenuated Total Reflection mode (FTIR-ATR), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). SEM investigation revealed the appearance of various numbers of pores, cracks and fragments present on the fibre surface after laser treatment. FTIR-ATR spectra showed that the laser-treated cotton fabric suffered changes in chemical structure with the hydroxyl (-OH) stretching group being oxidised to carbonyl/ carboxyl groups. The XPS analysis revealed a change in surface elemental composition after laser treatment. Furthermore, the wicking property of the laser-treated cotton fabrics was evaluated.

“…Desizing usually includes wash and rinse with liquor-to-fabric ratio of about 30:1, 20:1, 10:1 or 5:1 each cycle (Samaha et al, 2005;Chen et al, 2013). To evaluate the desizability of sizes in hot water and room temperature water, 90 and 20 • C are usually used (Du et al, 2007;Peng et al, 2009;Chen et al, 2013). Since the soymeal sizes could almost be completely removed from polyester, polyester/cotton and cotton fabrics after 1 cycle of wash and 1 cycle of rinse, desizing was done by treating the sized fabrics in water with 1 cycles of wash and 1 cycle of rinse under 90 • C and 20 • C for 5 min, respectively.…”

a b s t r a c tSoymeal, which contains natural plasticizer and tackifier, has been used to fabricate biodegradable and low-cost warp sizes, with potential for replacing non-biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) sizes for large-quantity industrial applications. Warp sizes from soyprotein isolates (SPI) have been reported as a potential substitute for PVA sizes, which contribute to high chemical oxygen demand in textile effluents and cause serious water pollution. However, sizes from SPI are high in cost and need additional plasticizers to overcome brittleness of films. In this research, the developed low-cost soymeal sizes contain soyprotein as majority and saccharides/saponified-oil from soymeal as minorities. Comparing to films from triethanolamine-plasticized SPI sizes, the soymeal size had about 30.1, 25.2 and 8.3% higher film flexibility, adhesion to yarns and abrasion resistance, respectively. Saccharides in soymeal and saponified oil formed during size extraction functioned as plant-based additives with capability of improving adhesion of protein sizing pastes to cotton and/or polyester yarns and increasing elongation of protein-based size films. Successful utilization of soymeal in textile sizing will lead to its large-quantity application, resulting in high value addition to agricultural byproducts and profound impact on soybean industry and textile industry.
