The present invention relates to a processing method for improving the dyeability of textile products containing cellulose fibers. Methods for improving the dyeability of textiles include methods for making fibers amorphous, methods for introducing into fibers functional groups that are compatible with and reactive with dyes, and methods for improving the cross-sectional structure of fibers. However, the method that has been put into practical use with cellulose fibers is mercerization (generally referred to as mercerization). In this method, cellulose fibers are treated with an aqueous solution of caustic soda to increase the amorphous region, thereby greatly improving dyeability. Mercerization is a simple and inexpensive processing method, so it is widely used for cellulosic fibers. As a result of further intensive research into this mercerizing process, the present inventor found that dyeing properties can be surprisingly improved if fine irregularities are imparted to the surface of textiles by low-temperature plasma treatment before mercerizing. Heading, we arrived at the present invention. That is, the present invention involves treating a textile product containing cellulose fibers with low-temperature plasma of oxygen or a mixed gas containing oxygen at a reduced pressure of 0.1 to 5 Torr, and then treating it with an aqueous solution of caustic soda at a concentration of 10 to 30%. This is a processing method for improving the dyeability of textile products containing cellulose fibers. The present invention will be explained in detail below. The fiber products that can be subjected to the method of the present invention include yarns, knitted fabrics, and woven fabrics containing cellulose fibers. In addition, they can be used as raw materials (original yarn in the case of yarn, raw material in the case of knitting, and greige in the case of textiles), or they can be pretreated by burning, desizing, scouring, and/or bleaching. It's okay to have something like that. In the present invention, first of all, the above-mentioned textile products are
Treatment is performed with low-temperature plasma of oxygen or a mixed gas containing oxygen at a reduced pressure of 0.1 to 5 Torr. The low temperature plasma used in the present invention is higher than 0.1 Torr and lower than 5 Torr, preferably higher than 0.2 Torr and lower than 4 Torr.
High frequency (e.g. 13.56M) for various gases at pressures below
Hz) can be generated by irradiation. Low-temperature plasma has a poor processing effect when the degree of gas depressurization is less than 0.1 Torr, and plasma generation becomes unstable when the degree of decompression of the gas is more than 5 Torr.
This must be done within a range of 5Torr or less. Regarding the gas used for plasma generation, since it is necessary to impart fine irregularities to the surface of the cellulose fiber, a gas having such properties is specifically oxygen or a mixed gas containing oxygen. Cellulose fibers treated with low-temperature plasma have fine irregularities formed on their surfaces, so
It has the effect of diffusely reflecting light and deepening the color. However, this low-temperature plasma treatment alone crosslinks the surface layer of treated fibers and destroys reactive hydroxyl groups, resulting in undesirable adverse effects such as a drastic reduction in dyeability. The present invention has discovered a method for cutting crosslinks, regenerating hydroxyl groups, and increasing amorphous regions while leaving the unevenness of the fiber surface in combination with caustic soda treatment. Therefore, in the present invention, the textile product that has been subjected to the low-temperature plasma treatment is then treated with an aqueous solution of caustic soda having a concentration of 10 to 30%. If the caustic soda concentration is less than 10%, the treatment effect is poor, and if it is more than 30%, no further improvement in the treatment effect can be obtained and it becomes uneconomical. The treatment method may be the same as the commonly used mercerization method. The thus obtained fiber product exhibits excellent color development with all dyes and dyeing methods for cellulosic fibers. Furthermore, the cellulose fibers are reduced in weight from the surface layer by low-temperature plasma treatment, resulting in a very supple texture. Furthermore, the gloss obtained at the same time is not a strong gloss like that of ordinary mercerizing, but a gentle and elegant gloss. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples.
Using two types of dyes and dyeing methods (A) and (B), the color density of the dyed fabric was calculated using the following formula to express it as K/S [Kubelker-Munk formula; the higher the value, the darker it appears]. K/S=(1-R) 2 /2R (R is the reflectance at 600 nm.) (A) Evaluation using reactive dyes [Staining solution] Cibacron, Brilliant, Blue BR-P

Example 1 Combed cotton yarn after burning, desizing, scouring, and whitening processing
A fabric canvas using a count of 100 to 40 was prepared as a fabric to be processed. Next, we used a fabric low-temperature plasma treatment device to reduce the vacuum level to 2 Torr and the oxygen gas flow rate.
100ml/min, high frequency output 400W (frequency 13.56M
The above fabric was treated for 10 minutes under the treatment conditions (Hz).
Next, this was mercerized with a 23% caustic soda aqueous solution at 20° C. according to a conventional method to obtain a treated fabric according to the present invention. For comparison with the method of the present invention, treatment was performed in exactly the same manner as in this example, except for the low-temperature plasma treatment in this example. The obtained treated cloth was designated as Comparative Example 1. Separately, for comparison with the method of the present invention, a sample was obtained in which the treatment in this example was performed in exactly the same manner as in this example, without the caustic soda treatment. The performance of these treated fabrics, using the treated fabric as Comparative Example 2, was measured and shown in Table 1. As is clear from Table 1, the fabric treated by the method of the present invention had a very high dye density. Also, the texture was very soft.
