Title Effect of plasma on the properties of protein fibres Author Naebe, Maryam. Institution Deakin University School Institute for Technology Research and Innovation Centre for Material and Fibre Innovation Degree name Ph.D. Date submitted 2009 Keyword(s) Animal fibers - Research Woolen and worsted manufacture - Research Dyes and dyeing - Wool Wool - Shrink proofing Summary Atmospheric pressure plasma with a relatively short exposure time was sufficient to modify the wool surface. The ageing studies showed the hydrophobic recovery of fibre surface took place at the early stages after plasma treatment. While plasma improved wool shrink-resistance, improvement in dyeability depends on the hydrophilic-hydrophobic nature of dyestuff. Notes Degree conferred 2010.
