Studysummary This study found that treating yak hair fibers with low-temperature plasma and microwaves weakened the scale structure and significantly improved dyeability. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
The study investigated the effects of microwave low temperature plasma (MLTP) treatment on the dyeability of yak hair fiber. The treatment aimed to address the issue of surface scales acting as barriers during dyeing. Results showed that MLTP significantly weakened and damaged the scale structure of yak hair, leading to noticeable changes in surface shape. This modification resulted in a significant improvement in the dyeing properties of the yak hair fiber.
