...Asmaa M. Abdelhamid; Amal Mohamed El-Moursy; Mohamed M. Mosaad Purpose Environment-friendly materials and treatments have gained significant attention. This study aims to compare the effects of plasma and bio-enzyme treatments on the physical, chemical and printing properties of Modal...

... are not satisfactory, and modification is needed to obtain a better color quality. Plasma treatment is widely used for modifying heat sensitive material surfaces through active plasma species. Therefore, a comprehensive comparison of dye and pigment coloration and a review of atmospheric pressure plasma treatment have...

...C.H. Kwong; S.P. Ng; C.W. Kan Plasma treatment is becoming increasingly popular in enhancing the hydrophobicity of synthetic textiles. In recent years, the study of surface hydrophobisation by means of plasma treatment, under low or atmospheric pressure, has drawn a great deal of attention. A large...

...C.W. Kan; K. Chan; C.W.M. Yuen Previous studies showed that the feltability and wettability of wool fabrics were improved after the application of plasma treatment. In the present paper, further study on the plasma treatment was carried out to investigate its effect on other fabric properties...

... (dichloromethane extracted) wool fibres (21 J..lm diameter) were modified by potassium permanganate / salt treatment, sodium metabisulphite treatment and plasma treatments (oxygen, nitrogen, 25% hydrogen and 750% nitrogen gas mixture). The study of wool fibre surface physico-chemical properties included contact...
