Popis: Dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea and acrylic acid crosslinking agent was used to treat the cotton fabric with a pad-dry-plasma-cure process. Rate constants and structural diffusion resistance constants for the pad-dry-plasma-cure treated fabrics were lower than those for pad-dry-cure fabrics treated at the same resin concentration, and the values of dye absorption and equilibrium absorption of the plasma-treated fabrics were also lower than those for non-plasma-treated fabrics. However, the activation energies for the pad-dry-plasma-cure process were higher than that for the pad-dry-cure process. The anti-bacterial ability of the pad-dry-plasma-cure and pad-dry-plasma-cure with copper after-treatment fabrics were higher than that of pad-dry-cure and pad-dry-cure with copper after-treatment fabrics. The surface distribution of crosslinking agent for pad-dry-plasma-cure process was higher than for the pad-dry-cure process.
