The effect on shrink-resistance of wool fabric with plasma/chitosan co-processing
Wool fabric is treated under the conditions of low temperature plasma,chitosan, and plasma/chitosan respectively,and the influence of plasma pretreatment time,power and pressure and the process of chitosan on the properties of wool fabrics were analyzed.Finally the plasma/chitosan co-processing is chosed to improve the performance of wool fabric shrink-resistance.And the optimum conditions are: chitosan molecular weight of 20 million, the concentration of 1.0g/L,plasma power is 150W,pressure is 25Pa,time is 3min.Under these conditions,the shrinkage of wool fabric is 7.3% ,whiteness is 54.2,breaking strength:warp direction 673.2N,weft direction 272.7N.
