An apparatus and method for plasma finishing of fibrous materials including paper and knitted, woven and non-woven fibrous substrates such that desired characteristics are imparted are described. The method includes depositing a monomer comprising at least one fluorocarbon monomer with chemical additives, as required, at atmospheric pressure onto the paper or knitted, woven or non-woven substrate; exposing the monomer on a single surface of the fibrous material to an inert gas, atmospheric-pressure plasma, thereby causing polymerization of the monomer species; and repeating this sequence using multiple sequential deposition and plasma discharge steps to create a layered surface having durability against abrasion for both water-based laundry methods and dry-cleaning methods, and normal wear, without affecting the feel, drape, appearance or breathability of the substrate material. The present method uses a high-power, continuously operating plasma that is 104 times more powerful than the prior art plasma sources utilized in the textile industry, and produces a durable finish with between 0.5 and 2 s of plasma exposure. This is sufficiently rapid to meet commercial fabric processing throughput, and repeated cleaning of the electrodes is not required. |

A method of activating down and fiber materials uses a plurality of nozzles for ionized air and nozzles for normal air alternately at proper intervals in the passage of the materials to be treated. The materials are subjected to ionization by ionized air ejected from the nozzles for ionized air produced by an air ionizer connected to the ionized air nozzles. Then the materials are subjected to suspension of the progress of oxydization caused by ozone by normal air ejected from the normal air nozzles. This process is repeated several times while the materials are passing through the passage. The repeated processes of such alternate ionization and suspension of the progress of oxydization caused by ozone allow the materials to be gradually and intensively ionized, resulting in producing finally activated materials which are characteristic of restored bulkiness and elasticity. An enclosure can also be adopted instead of the passage. In the enclosure, the stationary materials are subjected to ionization by ionized air injected. After evacuation of the ionized air from the enclosure, normal air is injected which will be evacuated afterward. One of the uses of this method is activation of down to be filled in quilts. But this method is also utilized for activation of other materials such as cotton, silk, chemical fibers, wool, paper, wood etc. |
