Abstract
AbstractIn this study, O2/Ar plasma was used for surface activation and attachment of chitosan on cotton fabric. The effects of plasma treatment and chitosan attachment on the color strength, and fastness properties of the samples printed with a direct dye was investigated. The results showed that both plasma treatment and subsequent chitosan attachment enhanced the color strength of the printed cotton. Increasing the chitosan concentration and plasma treatment time increased the color strength of the printed samples. The effect of chitosan coating was more pronounced when the chitosan was applied after plasma treatment. All fastness properties were improved when the cotton sample was treated with plasma and coated with chitosan.KeywordsCottonPlasmaChitosanPrintingFastness
