Effect of plasma treatment and grafting of β-cyclodextrin on color properties of wool fabric

What is it about?

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low temperature plasma (LTP) treatment and grafting of Beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on dyeing and fastness properties of wool fabrics using natural dye extracted from Shrimp shell. Aluminum sulfate, iron sulfate, tin chloride, copper sulfate and sodium dichromate were used as mordant and the dyeing of samples was conducted after the pre-mordanting process. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to study the morphological and chemical changes of the fibers.

Why is it important?

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dyeing properties of LTP-treated wool fabric with Shrimp skin as new natural dye for obtaining green shade on wool, and to explore the physical and chemical properties of dyed fabric treated with β-CD solution.
