We investigated the application of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet to impart flame retardancy to silk fabrics. Argon plasma jet was used to graft non-durable phosphorus-based flame retardant agent (Pyrovatim® PBS) onto silk. The treated fabric showed a higher level of flame retardancy as evaluate...
