Abstract
Wool fibre treated by low-temperature plasma (LTP) using different non -polymerising gases was dyed with chrome dye. The rate of dyeing, the time of half-dyeing (t(1/2)), the final dyebath exhaustion, the chromi um exhaustion and the chromium fixation were studied. The results show ed that LTP treatments can alter the dyeing properties to various degr ees. The nature of the LTP gases plays an important role in affecting the behaviour of chrome dyeing.
