Abstract

The plasma treatment is a dry process that is done by gas; it creates significant surface modification in textile material without water pollution. Silk is a strongest natural fiber and widely used in both apparel and technical textiles application. In this study, the selected silk fabric was treated to oxygen plasma at low frequency for ten minutes. Then the physical properties of the plasma treated and untreated samples were investigated. The effect of plasma treatment was examined by visual inspection. Based on results, the plasma treatment increases the luster and absorbency of silk fabric.
