    Comparative study of anti-pilling properties of polyester-cotton blend using plasma and chemical finish
    (UMT, Lhr, 2015) ADIL HUSSAIN; HAMMAD MEHMOOD
    With the advancement in science and technology, textiles Sciences are touching new horizons. Plasma treatment is a blessing of the research which is very effective, efficient and environmental friendly. Plasma technology is being used to modify the surface of textile substrate and its chemical structure. But very limited work has been done on the influence of plasma technology on the characteristic of blends. This project will throw light on the effect of plasma treatment on the pilling properties of polyester-cotton blend. The cold plasma is used in which different reactive species interact with substrate surface. The Cleaning, modification and coating occurs dependent upon the parameters. Three main mechanisms are involved in plasma treatment i.e. radical formation, attachment of functional groups, deposition/polymerization and the etching process. Maximum resistance to the pill formation can be achieved using the plasma treatment on the p/c blend.
