 Full text | Abstract: Polypropylene non-woven fabrics were activated by an atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment in ambient air using a novel plasma source. Subsequently, the plasma activated samples were coated by a nanostructured Fe2O3 layer using surfactant-free water dispersion of Fe2O3 nanostructured particles. The surface of the samples was characterised by scanning electron microscopy. The Fe2O3 coating exhibited a remarkable wash resistance. |
