Application Of Plasma Technology To Multifunctional Fabrics

The demand for advanced functional fabrics in the international market is increasing. In the past, unrealistic smart clothing has become more and more important and has become a textile and apparel industry. Ready-made clothes The new development direction of manufacturers.

In line with the market's demand for functional fabrics and clothing, the Hongkong Productivity Council, especially the development of plasma treatment system for textile and garment industry, is characterized by providing continuous ion treatment for soft fabrics, suitable for the production of high-performance fabrics, leather and membrane materials. It can increase various functions on various fabrics, reduce environmental pollution and practice cleaner production, and effectively enhance the market competitiveness of the industry.

Smart clothing mainly uses nano technology to develop various self-cleaning fabrics. Many manufacturers and designers are using new fabrics to produce clothing, shoes, schoolbags and other products. Dr. Yang Lijian, general manager of materials technology, Hongkong Productivity Council, pointed out that the traditional method is to spray functional or chemical substances onto the surface of the material by spraying or covering methods, but the binding force of these substances is weak, and they will peel off after several times of washing. The resin covered will also change the overall properties of the material, such as making its softness, appearance and permeability worse. At the same time, the traditional method will bring about the problem of wastewater treatment.

By comparison, Plasma technology It is an innovative technology that can be applied in a wider range, adding durability to all kinds of fabrics. He then went on to say that the technology used ionized gases to stimulate electrons, ions and various active particles of different energy through electrical energy. These particles interact with the surface of the solid, changing their properties and providing cloth materials with various functions. Plasma technology has a wide range of applications. It can add various functions on various fabrics, including anti sticking, crease proofing, water proofing, oil proofing, etc., and can combine new nano materials and cloth closely together to form special functions, such as UV protection, antistatic and so on.

He said that through continuous research and development in the industry, Spin The application of multi-functional fabrics will be expanded to all kinds of sportswear, including swimming, cycling, diving, skiing and so on. The functions include measuring heartbeat, blood pressure, and even anti chemical aspects, including biochemical clothing that disinfectant and decompose toxic gases.

In the past, the textile industry had to tailor a multifunctional cloth. It had to be stitched by a number of fabrics. But now plasma treatment technology is used to change the surface of the material, so that a cloth can gather various functions and the effect is ideal. At the same time, the operation is safe and fast, and can produce a large number of special functional fabrics continuously, and the processing speed is about 20 meters per minute.

He emphasized that the plasma process is a dry process without environmental pollution and no need for waste water treatment system, so as to effectively cooperate with the global market. environmental protection The general trend of production.
