Download or read book A Study on the Effect of Plasma Modification on the Comfort Properties of Polyester Cotton Blend Fabric written by Baye Berhanu Yilma and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, the effect of cold plasma treatment on the comfort properties of P/C blend fabric has been studied in a low pressure plasma reactor. The plasma treatment was conducted on the samples of 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend fabric using argon, oxygen and air, separately, as well as mixtures of O2/HMDSO, N2/HMDSO, H2O/HMDSO and HMDSO monomer alone as working gases. Special attention was given to oxygen plasma due to its wide application for various textile/polymer materials. Due to this reason, the Taguchi method was used to design, analyze and optimize the oxygen plasma process. Other plasma parameters including working pressure, discharge power, duration of treatment and flow rate were also considered. The various comfort properties of plasma treated and untreated P/C blend fabric have been studied. In particular, thermal comfort such as, water vapor, air permeability, thermal resistance and wickability as well as tactile comfort including hand-feel and electro-physical properties were investigated. As the results showed that the oxygen plasma treatment had a positive effect on the thermal comfort and resistivity properties of P/C the blend fabric.

This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION This chapter is concerned with the general introduction, importance of thermal comfort and need for research on it. The objectives of the study and organization of the thesis are discussed. Importance of Blending Natural fibres and their blends with classic fibres bear valuable properties and so at present there are various products made of these fibres. It is observed that in respect of properties like the absorption and discharge of moisture, non-irritating, antibacterial, and anti-allergic characteristics, protection against the sun‘s harmful ultra-violet rays and other valuable properties, blended yarns are better than classical yarns. Hence, they may be used for clothing, underwear, socks, and hygienic textile products as well as for composites. In the cotton spinning process, blending has the objective of producing yarn with acceptable quality and reasonable cost. A good quality blend requires the use of adequate machines, objective techniques to select bales and knowledge of its characteristics. Knowledge of the importance of blended products in the textile industry and the generally rising costs of production make the achievement of economic and good quality blends with different kinds of cotton more and more critical (Azzouz et al 2008).
