Influence du traitment Corona dans la cuticule du cotton

Abstract

The influence of Corona treatment on the structure of cotton surface has been studied. The alterations on cuticle morphology with the creation of channels for water penetration, as well the chemical effect by oxidation of fatty matters were regarded as very important to justify the well known increase in hydrophilicity and friction properties. The changes on the surface were measured by spectroscopy XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and by AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) microscopic techniques.
