Improved stain-release properties of PET fabric by plasma-surface modifications

In this study, surface modifications and manufacturing processes for polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/polypropylene (PP) composites were developed. When non-polar PP resin is combined with polar polyester fiber, its compatibility and wettability are the key technologies. Maleic anhydride-grafted PP (MAPP) was blended with PP to improve the polarity of the PP resin and react with PET fibers. In addition, a primer was applied to the PET fabric to improve the bonding and reactivity of PET fiber and MAPP. PET/PP composites that imitated the texture and appearance of carbon fabric were prepared by thin film stacking method. The effect of MAPP and primer on interfacial bonding was evaluated by single-fiber pullout test. The mechanical properties of the PET/PP composites such as impact, and open-hole tensile strength (OHT), were studied.

Side Illumination

A strong and even side illuminating effect is required for plastic optical fibers (POFs) in illuminating applications. In consideration of good flexibility and illumination, side emitting POFs with 2 and 3 mm core diameters are preferred, especially in active illuminating safety textiles. However, the side illumination intensity of side emitting POF varies significantly along the fiber length. Fluorescent polyester (PET) fabric rather than traditional surface modifications is employed to enhance and even the side illuminating effect of POFs based on the emitting principle of phosphors. Two testing methods of side illumination intensity are carried out on semi-automatic devices. The results indicate that 2 mm side emitting POFs might take the place of 3 mm side emitting POFs by using fluorescent PET fabric, with a similar side illuminating effect in applications under certain circumstances.
