Investigation on dyeability of polypropylene fabrics grafted with chitosan after plasma modification

摘要

In this study, the properties of polypropylene fabrics grafted with chitosan after being activated by low temperature plasmas were evaluated. The chitosan was applied to polypropylene fabrics by using pad-dry cure technique. The surface morphology was characterized by SEM images. Treated samples were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The polypropylene fabric treated with chitosan demonstrates an excellent dyeability property.
