Abstract

Abstract : in English
The wet treatment of fabrics causes many Egyptian national problems, such as high-water consumption, and the use of many chemicals, causing great pollution, in addition to electricity consumption, in addition to shedding light on the properties of microfiber fabrics. [1-7]
The currently used high-performance micro-fiber fabrics for soft body armor have very low surface friction and this has become an issue in the effectiveness of ballistic energy absorption. In this study, non-polymerizing reactive plasma gas H2, N2, Ar and air were employed to modify micro-fiber polyester fabric surface for the application of ballistic impact material. Fabric tailor ability analysis was used to analyze the surface properties of the treated samples. The tailorable performance of plasma-treated fabrics treated with N2 and Ar, is boosted by 18% and 30% respectively, compared with the untreated fabric.
The study recommends the suitability of using dry fabric treatments as an alternative to wet fabric treatments when you want to optimize the ability of fabrics to be tailored.
