A study on polypropylene fabric using ion irradiation

The main goal of this work was examination of structural and compositional changes in the Polypropylene (PP) fabrics caused by ion irradiation. In this work, the PP fabric were irradiated with CO2 ions. The Implantation conditions (i.e, exposure time, beam current, and discharge power) were changed to control the extend of surface modification and the effects of irradiation were studied using different instruments. Also dye ability of the untreated sample and treated under different conditions were investigated by using a 3% wt aqueous solution of a basic dyestuff.
