| Abstract: | Atmospheric
pressure air plasma has been used to treat grey cotton fabrics and the effect
of treatment on their desizing and wettability properties is studied using the
dielectric barrier discharge plasma with air and helium gas mixture. The weight
loss due to etching has been determined by gravimetric method, the surface
structure observed by SEM, the wettability studied by wicking action and the
angle of contact test using water. It is observed that the rate of desizing
increases when the fabric is pre-treated with plasma. This phenomenon of
surface etching and chemical modifications can be used advantageously for
industrial processing. |
