Effect of Atmospheric Pressure Glow Discharge Treatment on Polymerization of Acrylic Fabric and Its Printing Behavior

摘要

Acrylic fibers have been treated by atmospheric pressure glow discharge (APGD) plasma in open air to enhance surface antistatic properties. The treated surfaces are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-Transition Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). Plasma treatment of acrylic fabric has been found to increase the surface roughness, modify the nature and density of surface functionalities, and drastically improve the wettability and antistatic ability of acrylic fibers.
