“…Among different laser treatments, only laser engraving or the embossing process allows short-time surface designing of patterns with precision, desired variety, size and intensity for a wide range of textile surfaces, including knitted or woven fabrics, with minimum damage to the materials at a selected wavelength and laser power density [1][2][3][4].

The laser engraving process allows short-time surface designing of patterns with precision, desired variety, size and intensity on a wide range of textile surfaces with minimum damage to the material. Because of this, it is possible that laser engraving applied to textile materials can make the fabric look faded and worn out without the use of any of the chemicals that are usually required in the conventional colour-fading process. In the present study, laser engraving was applied to denim fabric in order to evaluate its effect on some colour-related properties. Two laser process variables, namely, resolution and pixel time, were studied thoroughly. The laser power density was enhanced in response to the increased level of pixel time and resolution. Under the effect of high laser power density, a paler surface appearance was achieved for the denim fabrics with the largely reduced K ⁄ S sum values, indicating that the amount of dye present on the denim fabric was decreased significantly. In addition, a green-yellow shade was observed in the denim fabric samples after laser engraving.

“…Exposure of fibres to laser irradiation can produce a modified surface that affects the surface properties of materials (Dadsetan et al 1999;Wijayathunga et al 2007;Wong et al 2001Wong et al , 2003. Laser treatment can also modify fibre surface morphology (Knittel et al 1997).…”

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.
