The effect of plasma treatment on the ability of microfiber fabrics to be tailored

Abstract EN

The microfiber fabrics have many aesthetic properties, such as super smoothness.

The aim of this research is to overcome the problems of detailing resulting from the smoothness of microfiber fabrics through dry treatment.

This study aims to overcome the problems of individual ultra-fine fabrics.

Since the dry treatment of textiles (Plasma treatment), has four functions, treating the surface of the fabrics with an non- polymerized gas leads to a roughness of the surface of the fabric, which prevents the fabrics from slipping after spreading and and cutting.

The currently used high-performance micro-fiber fabrics for soft body armor have very low surface friction and this has become an issue in the effectiveness of ballistic energy absorption.

In this study, non polymerizing reactive plasma gas H2, Ar, N2 and air were employed to modify micro-fiber polyester fabric surface for the application of ballistic impact material.

Capillary rise method observations yield information about the surface effect of the fabrics after plasma treatment.

The surface morphology of the treated fabrics was studied.

Fabric tailor ability analysis was used to analyze the surface properties of the treated samples.

The yarn pulling-out test shows that the resistance to pulling out yarns from fabrics plasma-treated treated with N2 and Ar, plasma-treated fabric is increased 18% and 30% respectively, compared with the untreated fabric.
