Effect of Plasma Pretreatment on Metal Absorption of Cotton Fabrics

Abstract:

In this research work, effect of plasma on metal absorption of cotton fabric is investigated. For this purpose the Air and Nitrogen plasma were used. Cotton samples were treated with the optimum conditions of plasma. Then both treated and untreated samples were inoculated by Silver and Iron metallic salts. The amounts of metal particle on the surface of samples were analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results show that, air plasma is more effective as compared with Nitrogen plasma for improving the metal absorption of cotton fabric. It can be concluded that, plasma can be a useful method for improving the sorption active materials properties.
