• Keywords: chitosan; copper ion; waste water; plasma; DCSBD
• Description: Chitosan coated 17gsm PP nonwoven fabrics was prepared using the DCSBD plasma activation of PPNT. Consequent tests revealed almost 40% higher adsorbtion capacity towards copper ions Cu2+ comparing to chitosan in its natural flake/powder like form.
