The effect of plasma treatment and loop length on the handle of lightweight jersey fabrics as assessed by the Wool HandleMeter

Abstract: The handle properties of knitted wool fabrics were investigated using the Wool HandleMeter. The fabrics were single jersey knitted with three different loop lengths, where the yarn linear density was kept constant. The effect of a treatment using a continuous plasma treatment device was compared with untreated fabrics. The results confirm that the Wool HandleMeter is capable of differentiating between knitted single jersey fabrics with different surface treatments and loop lengths. With all seven primary handl… Show more

“…Additionally, the softness value of the fabric was further increased when the plasma power and the exposure time were enhanced, which means that the softness of the blend fabric decreases. As a result, the fabric comfort property was slightly affected after plasma treatment [33]. In particular, the Ar-plasma treated sample was more affected when compared with air and O2plasma treated samples.…”

“…As TSA results depict, in Figure 8, that the roughness value of all plasma treated samples were greater than untreated sample. The smoothness of the fabric was reduced after plasma treatment due to the formation of voids, cracks and pores on the plasma treated P/C blend fabric surface by the etching and cleaning effect [33]. This gives an uneven fabric surface and comparatively high surface roughness.…”
