  Abstract

The purpose of this study was to enhance the flame retardancy of cotton fabrics that are largely used for interior textiles including sleepwear, sleeping gear, and curtains by preprocessing untreated cotton fabrics. Mercerization and plasma treatments were used for preprocessing. The variables of mercerization were treatment time (5, 10 min) and temperature (0, 20, 80 ℃). The variable of plasma is treatment time (5, 10, 15 s). To compare the properties and dynamics between non-treated fibers and preprocessed fibers, SEM, EDAX, weight-gain percentage, transfer characteristics of water, flame retardancy, and a KES-FB system were used. The plasma-treated fabrics exhibited less property change than the mercerization-treated fabrics. The mercerized fabrics had more outstanding features in terms of flame retardancy. The best flame retardancy among the experimental conditions was observed in the condition of processing for 5 min by low-temperature mercerization.
