Abstract

Wool fabric was treated with oxygen low-temperature plasma (LTP) and dichloroisocyanuric acid. The effect of dimensional stability (relaxation shrinkage, hygral expansion, felting shrinkage), tensile strength and elongation, crease recovery, and hand of wool fabric between LTP, DCCA treated wool fabrics and control wool fabric were investigated. SEM photograph showed that a little micro crack was formed on the fiber surface by plasma treatment with hard condition and epicuticle scale was damaged by DCCA treatment. Felting shrinkage, tensile strength and total hand value were much different in each samples.
