Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, the effect of various techniques using for Japanese traditional fabric, and surface modification of fibers by air plasma processing was investigated to improve bending stiffness and dyeability of linen textiles. As the results, the flexibility could be increased by doing the air plasma processing and "YUMOMI", one of the traditional techniques to make "Ojiya-chijimi". But the difference in dyeing was observed by changing the plasma processing condition. From the color measurement results of the dyed linen textile exposed while soaking in salt water following "UMIZARASHI", it was suggested that the faded color was suppressed and the color intensity was increased. The color intensity of the linen processed air plasma can be expected to increase by exposing on the snow as procedure called "YUKIZARASHI".
