Electrostatic flocking technology is to flock in electrostatic field, that is, charged pile is preferably propelled toward an adhesive coated substrate by electrostatic force. In this paper, superfine fibers (0.1 dtex) were used as the pile and flocked into a fabric coated with adhesive under different process. The effect of induced voltage, operating time, and the distance between electrodes on density of the pile were discussed respectively. The experimental results showed that density of the pile increased with the increase of induced voltage and operating time, while decreased with the increase of distance between electrodes. Furthermore, density of the pile could reach maximum by the optimization of flocking process. The scanning electron microscopy study confirmed a high density of pile under optimized process.
