“…Natural and synthetic textile fibers have been treated with atmospheric pressure plasma systems to alter wettability, surface roughness, chemical composition, and dye uptake [6,[10][11][12][13][14][15]. We could find only one report about the air plasma treatment of hair fibers to alter surface chemistry [16].…”

Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet Treatment of Human Hair Fibers

Human hair fibers in virgin and dyed forms were treated with atmospheric pressure helium, helium/ oxygen, argon, and argon/oxygen plasma jets at 20 W of power. The effects of 10-min plasma treatment on surface morphology and chemistry were studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The plasma treatment was quite effective for removing the organic residues from the surface and creating oxidized functional groups. Helium plasma had a mild cleaning effect on the surfaces while argon/oxygen plasma had the strongest corrosive effect. Mild hydrogen peroxide treatment for the same duration had neither the cleaning nor the oxidizing power of the plasma jets. These types of plasma jets have the potential to replace peroxide treatment. The corrosive jets can be used to restore dyed hair fibers. In addition, the jets can be used to clean the surfaces of hair fibers to prepare samples for analytical investigations where the organic residues may induce problems.

“…In addition, the effectiveness of plasma treatment may also be affected by the plasma treatment conditions, such as treatment duration, gas flow rate, applied power, jet-to-substrate distance, and pore size or structure. 12,15 Detailed information concerning the effect of plasma pretreatment on the wrinkle-recovery properties of cotton imparted by BTCA treatment is still lacking. Moreover, the optimization of the effectiveness of the plasma treatment on the fabric is required.…”

A 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA)-sodium hypophosulfite (SHP) wrinkle-resistance system played an important role in improving the wrinkle-resistance properties of cotton fibers. In this study, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) was used as a cocatalyst to further enhance the wrinkle-resistance properties of BTCA-SHP-treated cotton fabrics, that is, those treated with (1) 5% BTCA and 10% SHP; (2) 5% BTCA, 10% SHP, and 0.1% TiO 2 ; and (3) 5% BTCA, 10% SHP, and 0.2% TiO 2 . In addition, the effect of plasma as a pretreatment process on the wrinkle-resistance properties of the three treatment systems was also studied. The experimental results reveal that the wrinkle-resistance properties of cotton fibers were improved after different wrinkle-resistance treatments. In addition, the plasma pretreatment further enhanced the wrinkle-resistance treatments to different extents, depending on the process parameters. Scanning electron microscopy images confirmed that such plasma pretreatment conditions imparted the best crosslinking effect on the cotton fibers. However, the wrinkle-resistance-treated cotton specimens had lower tensile strength and tearing strength values compared to the control sample, whereas the plasma pretreatment and cocatalyst may have compensated for the reduction in the mechanical strength caused by the wrinkle-resistance agents. In this article, the optimum conditions for the plasma pretreatment on the basis of the result of the wrinkle-recovery angle were analyzed with an L 9 (3) 3 orthogonal array testing strategy technique. The results showed that plasma treatment conditions with (1) a 10 mm/s speed, (2) a 0.1 L/min oxygen flow rate, and (3) a 4-mm jet-to-substrate distance together caused a significant improvement in the wrinkle-resistance properties of the cotton fibers treated with the three different BTCA treatments. Moreover, the treatment speed was the dominant factor, followed by jet-to-substrate distance and oxygen flow rate, in affecting the extent of improvement.

“…Recently, plasma surface modification of textile materials found to replace the wet chemical, thermal and radiative processes [1][2][3][4]. Plasma is a partially ionized gas which when hits the surface of the material, modifies the surface property to a depth from 50-500Å without changing the entire material property [5,6].These ionized gas containing excited atoms, free radicals, electrons, ions and molecules interact physically and chemically with the fabric surface [7].…”

Oxygen plasma treatment and/or cellulase enzyme treatment was carried to improve the surface properties of cotton fabrics for medical applications. The influence of Plasma (P), enzyme (E), plasma preceded by enzyme (EP) and enzyme preceded by plasma (PE) treatments on hydrophilicity of the cotton fabrics was studied using standard wicking test. The physical and chemical modification due to plasma and enzymatic treatments were analyzed using SEM and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The FTIR results revealed that the oxygen plasma has modified the surface chemically by introducing oxygen containing groups (C=O, C-O, COO -) onto the fabric surface and enzyme have hydrolyzed the cellulose molecule. The physical etching of the fabric surface was observed in SEM photographs and weight loss measurements. The modified fabrics were given antimicrobial finish and tested for its antimicrobial activity against S.aureus and E.coli using AATCC 100 test. The EP treated fabric was found to have 100% bacterial reduction. The wash durability of the finished fabrics was also assessed and the results are discussed.
