  • Patent number: 11946196
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an atmospheric-pressure plasma equipment for fabric functional finishing and its application, and belongs to the field of textile printing and dyeing engineering. The atmospheric-pressure plasma equipment, including a discharging system, a grafting instrument and a cloth guider, can conduct continuous plasma treatment on fabrics under an atmospheric pressure, including plasma etching and plasma grafting, which breaks through the disadvantage of batch processing of vacuum plasma equipment. The equipment and method of the present disclosure realize functional finishing of the fabrics in the absence of water, and this finishing process is cost efficient, environmentally friendly, uniform, shorter treatment time and higher reactivity, and applicable to many materials and can keep the bulk properties of the treated substances.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 29, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2024
    Assignee: JIANGNAN UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Chang-E Zhou, Hongwei Wang, Wenkai Shen, Lei Fan, Xin Ju, Guozheng Zhang, Tongxin Yang, Wanning Wang, Chang Sun

  • Patent number: 10711392
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a pad-steam bleaching method based on a TBLC-activated hydrogen peroxide system, and belongs to the field of pretreatment processing of textiles. According to the pad-steam bleaching method based on the TBLC-activated hydrogen peroxide system, TBCC and H2O2 are compounded with a weak base to prepare a TBCC/H2O2/weak base system for performing near-neutral bleaching on cotton fabrics; the fabrics are padded and then steamed to be bleached. By the method disclosed by the present disclosure, the whiteness of fabric treated for 2 minutes by a TBCC/H2O2/sodium citrate padding and steaming system is significantly superior to that of fabric treated for 60 minutes by an H2O2/NaOH dip bleaching system. The CIE whiteness of the fabric reaches 77 and above, the fabric wettability after treatment is also improved, the damage of the fabric is smaller, and the amount of water used by the method is small.
