 Full text | Abstract: This work is focused on the characterisation of the physical and surface properties of plasma coated wool fabric. A thin film was deposited on wool fabric samples by means of the plasma polymerisation of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and differences between such plasma-treated and untreated fabrics were evaluated. The films deposited were characterised by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Also the surface morphology of samples was studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Hydrophobic properties of the samples were tested using the water drop test. The results show that by plasma polymerisation, hydrophobic properties of the wool surface change to super hydrophobic. The main aim of the HMDSO/N2 plasma polymerisation of wool fabrics is to improve anti felting properties and dyeing behaviour. |
