Abstract

Atmospheric plasma(AP) treatment is widely employed to modify the surface properties of polymers. Physicochemical surface properties, such as etching, grafting, polymerization, and cross-linking can be obtained through this treatment using an environmentally -friendly dry process, without altering the polymer inner property. Digital textile printing(DTP) is considered a very efficient textile printing system that, conducts a computing process from pattern design to printing. To obtain good DTP results, the fabric needs pre-treatment to prevent the ink from spreading during printing. In this study, the possibility of using of the AP treatment instead of the usual media treatment for enhancing the effect of DTP on cotton was studied. The results confirmed that the half time is shorted by wave and AP treatment, which measure half time by generating voltage radicals. Absorption height between untreated and AP-treated sample showed 7 mm height differences at 1 kW with 3 times and increased absorption. Inevitably, no physical change by scanning electron microscopy was observed. The color development, sharp were improved after AP plasma.
