- Abstract
Radiation treatment in textile processing has gained great popularity due to its clean, uniform and efficient nature. Present study is concerned with plasma treatment of wool fabric to improve its dyeing behaviour using Drimarene red dye. Prior to dyeing wool fabric was exposed to cold plasma under different powers, gases and time intervals. Subsequently, the plasma-treated and untreated fabrics were executed to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) analyses which represented the surface modification of wool fabric. After plasma treatment, good colour strength of fabrics was obtained by treating fabric for 60 s using Ar gas and dyeing at 90°C. Similarly, dyeing for 60 min is optimum time while treating the wool fabric for 150 W using Ar gas (30 s) has shown good colour characteristics. The salt concentration (9 g/100 ml) is optimum exhausting while treating fabric at 150 W using Ar gas (30 s). ISO standard method for light and washing shows that the rating has been improved. It might be suggested that plasma treatment of other fabric can successfully be applied to improve the dyeing behaviour.
