S. Kobayashi et al., THE EFFECT OF SPUTTER ETCHING ON THE SURFACE CHARACTERISTICS OF DYED ARAMID FABRICS, Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists, 111(3), 1995, pp. 72-76
Three kinds of aramid fabrics, Technora (modified p-aramid), Conex (m-
aramid) and Kevlar (p-aramid), were subjected to sputter etching and a
rgon low-temperature plasma treatments after dyeing in black with disp
erse dyes. The depth of shade increased considerably on Technora and K
evlar with the sputter etching treatment, but not on Conex fabrics. Ar
gon low-temperature plasma treatment had virtually no effect on the de
pth of shade on the aramid fabrics.
