Since polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) as a sizing agent is not environmental friendly,it’s imperative to use less or even without PVA in the warp sizing.A set of sizing formulas with the same solid containing rate and different proportion were designed.After sizing practice of pure polyester and polyester/cotton yarns with atmospheric pressure plasma treatment by the set of sizing formulas,sizing quality was compared.The results indicate that strength enhancement rate,elongation reduction rate,and abrasion resistance of pure polyester and polyester/cotton sized yarn are significantly improved by atmospheric pressure plasma treatment.Meanwhile,PVA can be used less,or replaced by acrylic acid size.
