Influence of Plasma Treatment on Dyeing Properties of Silk Weaves

ABSTRACT

Three different mulberry silk fabrics were modified with low temperature plasma using helium and oxygen gases. Dyeing properties of plasma treated fabrics were investigated. The dye adsorption capacity of plasma treated silk samples was improved by 6–17% as compared to untreated samples in all the three varieties of silk. Surface roughness was quantitatively measured using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic study showed the formation of polar groups on plasma treated silk samples. Finally, it is concluded that the degree of plasma surface modification and dyeing properties of silk fabric are closely linked to weave and GSM of fabric.

摘要

利用低温等离子体对三种桑椹真丝织物进行了氦氧改性. 研究了等离子体处理织物的染色性能. 3个品种的蚕丝样品经等离子体处理后，染料吸附量均比未处理样品提高了6～17%. 采用原子力显微镜（AFM）对表面粗糙度进行了定量测量. X射线光电子能谱研究表明，等离子体处理的蚕丝样品上形成了极性基团. 最后得出结论:真丝织物的等离子体表面改性程度和染色性能与织物的组织结构和GSM密切相关.
