Cotton based nonwovens with unidirectional water-transport through the thickness of fabric were prepared using atmospheric plasma technology. In controlling deposition parameters, a thin layer polymerized Hexamethyldisiloxane was locally deposited onto cotton nonwoven fabric, so that only treated surface hydrophobic, while untreated remained hydrophilic. The water contact angle, morphology and ...

Cotton fabric was exposed to low-pressure capacitively coupled plasma enhance the adsorption and adhesion of fragrance microcapsules (FCM). Two plasma-forming gases, namely oxygen (O2) nitrogen (N2), were investigated. The untreated plasma-treated samples investigated for their morphological changes by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical properties (breaking force, elongation, flexur...

Microcapsules with fragrance in the core were used to produce a scented textile. The wall of microcapsules was based on melamine-formaldehyde polymer while an essential oil core. They applied cotton fabric using screen printing two ways: over entire surface and by pattern. properties differently printed samples analyzed. evaluation performed, mechanical studied, antibacterial activity against S...
