Inkjet Printing of Linen Fabrics Pretreated with Atmospheric Plasma and Various Print Pastes

Abstract

In this study, linen fabrics were inkjet printed with reactive dyes after air argon plasma treatments. Sodium alginate (ALG), carboxymethlycellulose (CMC), chitosan (CHT), ALG+CHT, CMC+CHT, and their combinations, were used as pretreatment print pastes prior to plasma pretreatment. The color yield and the fastness properties of the printed fabrics were evaluated. The CMC+CHT pretreatment print paste gave the best color yield with or without plasma pretreatment. Colorfastness values were not affected by the type of pretreatment print paste. However, plasma pretreatment slightly improved the colorfastness.

Flexible Pressure Sensors for Integration into Karate Body Protector

“…Figure 16 presents the voltage output graphs of two sensors prepared using TW as a bonding material to join the layers, with and without plasma treatment. In this case, the conditioning circuit is set up with a feedback resistance of 200 Ω, with the voltage input at 1 V. Supporting the literature cited above [50][51][52][53], the results show a significant effect of the plasma treatment on the hydrophilic properties of the substrate. A subjective analysis suggests an improvement of the adhesion between layers, but the actual delamination forces were not measured; in this stage of the research, the effect of the plasma treatment on the piezoresistive properties of the sensor assembly are evaluated.…”

“…Plasma treatment can be used to induce a cleaning effect in the samples, changing the wettability and surface texture (creating microroughness); in this way, it increases the absorption and adhesion of finishing agents, stampings and inks [ 50 ]. The generation of free radicals in the process may induce secondary reactions such as crosslinking, thus allowing for graft polymerization [ 51 , 52 ]. Therefore, we used plasma treatment on the Linqstat.…”

“…Therefore, we used plasma treatment on the Linqstat. Assuming the improvement in adhesion to be certain, according to [51,52]…”

“…Therefore, we used plasma treatment on the Linqstat. Assuming the improvement in adhesion to be certain, according to [51,52] According to the datasheets of these materials, the melting temperature ranges were 105-110 • C for TW and 78-88 • C for TN.…”

Investigation of Color Reproduction on Linen Fabrics when Printing with Mimaki TX400-1800D Inkjet with Pigment TP250 Dyes

“…Many researchers discuss the various types of textile dyeing processes and the fabric changes after dyeing processes [4][5][6][7]. Additionally, the newest research of inkjet printing on linen textile were reviewed [3,[8][9][10].…”
