North Carolina State Opens Centre As Proving Ground For Plasma Technology

摘要

mentally friendly process to apply moisture management and water- and stain-repellent properties to apparel and other textiles. The system's unique process uses an environmentally friendly "dry" ionized gas to impart a nanolayer coating of water-repellent, stain-repellent and wicking characteristics to the treated fabric. Unlike conventional stain-repel treatments, which require chemical-based, so-called "wet", treatment, the plasma process can produce a single fabric that will repel rain, snow and oil-based stains on one side, while the other side of the same fabric wicks moisture from the body.
