Fabrics are typical porous material and can be treated as mixtures of fibers and air. There is no clearly defined boundary and is different from a classical continuum for fabrics. It is complex to proceed with the theoretical analysis of fabric behavior. There are two main reasons (Hearle et al., 1969) for developing the geometrical structures of fabrics. One is to be able to calculate the resi...

The present study focused on DC air plasma exposed on bamboo fabric finished with antimicrobial agents. The knitted bamboo fabrics were exposed to plasma treatment at optimized conditions to increase the hydrophilicity. The changes in the hydrophilic properties, chemical and physical modification of the plasma treated fabric were studied using the AATCC 79, FTIR and FESEM respectively. The comb...
