Abstract: An electrode plate for generating low temperature plasma comprising a plurality of long electrode plate members with the same form, a plurality of cooling water passages, which serve simultaneously as support members, for connecting each pair of the adjacent electrode plate members respectively along their longitudinal direction with a cooling water passage therebetween so as to arrange the adjacent electrode plate members alternately up and down in parallel with no formation of a projection, and cooling water communicating pipes provided outside the electrode plate members.By arranging a pair of the present inventive electrode plates up and down in parallel and supplying high frequency electric current thereto, low temperature plasma can be generated uniformly and effectively all over the electrode plates.

Abstract: An apparatus for low-temperature plasma treatment of a textile product such as a cloth comprising transporting a textile product to be treated through a reaction chamber, in which low-temperature plasma is produced in situ by applying high frequency electric wave to electrodes provided in the chamber uniformly without stay, for subjecting the textile product to low-temperature plasma treatment uniformly.

Abstract: A method for the continuous treatment of a cloth using a low-temperature plasma, wherein a cloth is dried by heating the cloth in a reduced pressure chamber, and the cloth is then transported through a low-temperature plasma atmosphere in a low-temperature plasma treating chamber without exposing the cloth to the atmosphere under ordinary pressure. An apparatus for carrying out the process is also disclosed. The cloth can further be subjected to the low-temperature plasma polymerization treatment in another reduced pressure chamber.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating a textile product with the use of low-temperature plasma includes a reactor, and an arrangement for transporting a textile product to be treated, located within the reactor and arranged to move the textile product between taking-up shafts. The textile product is passed through a passage in the reactor formed between a pair of electrode plates. A mechanism maintains a vacuum in the interior of the reactor, and gas is supplied into the reactor between the electrode plates. The electrode plates are connected to produce a low-temperature plasma therebetween. The textile product such as a cloth, string or yarn can be treated effectively using only small amounts of heat energy and water resource.
