Structural Changes in the PACVD -Modified Para-Aramid, Ballistic Textiles During the Accelerated Ageing

Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 1

Abstract

The process of textile modification using Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition (PACVD) results in significant changes in surface properties with high effectivity. However, the main problem of the above-mentioned modification is to obtain a stable modification effect during standard use and storage. The aim of the study was to determine the stability of structural properties of PACVD-modified para-aramid ballistic woven fabrics during accelerated ageing using temperature or simultaneously temperature and humidity as the accelerated ageing factors. For identification of potential changes in the textile surface modified by PACVD with deposition of the polymer formed based on tetradecafluorohexane, the ATR-FTIR and SEM/EDS techniques were applied. The PACVD-modified textiles showed insignificant changes in structural properties after accelerated ageing using the above-men -tioned ageing factors. This confirms the stability of the PACVD-resulted modification during simulated conditions of standard use.
