The effect of low-temperature plasma on the chrome dyeing of wool fibre

Wool fibre treated by low-temperature plasma (LTP) using different non-polymerising gases was dyed with chrome dye. The rate of dyeing, the time of half-dyeing ( t 1/2), the final dyebath exhaustion, the chromium exhaustion and the chromium fixation were studied. The results showed that LTP treatmen...

Description
Summary:Wool fibre treated by low-temperature plasma (LTP) using different non-polymerising gases was dyed with chrome dye. The rate of dyeing, the time of half-dyeing ( t 1/2), the final dyebath exhaustion, the chromium exhaustion and the chromium fixation were studied. The results showed that LTP treatments can alter the dyeing properties to various degrees. The nature of the LTP gases plays an important role in affecting the behaviour of chrome dyeing.
