Abstract

Plasma treatment for almost all synthetic and cellulosic textiles is considered to be one of these physical technologies. Plasma treatment does not involve the treatment of hazardous chemicals and thus, compared to chemical treatment, there are no problems with effluents. The study demonstrated that most types of materials (natural synthetics and blends) with natural dye using pigment printing techniques can be printed using high-quality plasma radiation. It is an environmentally friendly process, fast-growing, and finds certain potential applications. The study claims that polyester plasma therapy and surface modifications can alleviate difficulties with printing. The study investigates the treatment of a PET fabric with an efficient plasma approach to activate the surface before cationization treatment.
