T. Wakida et al., DYEING PROPERTIES OF WOOL TREATED WITH LOW-TEMPERATURE PLASMA UNDER ATMOSPHERIC-PRESSURE, Textile research journal, 63(8), 1993, pp. 438-442
Merino wool top was treated with low-temperature plasmas of helium/arg
on and acetone/argon under atmospheric pressure for 30 seconds and the
n dyed with two leveling-type acid dyes, CI acid orange 7 and CI acid
red 18, and two milling-type acid dyes, CI acid blue 113 and CI acid b
lue 83. Dyeing rate and saturation dye exhaustion increased with the a
tmospheric low-temperature plasma treatments as with the dyeing of woo
ls pretreated with low-temperature plasma by glow discharge of O2 and
CF4. In particular, helium/argon plasma was much more effective than a
cetone/argon plasma at improving dyeing properties, except for CI acid
blue 113.
