Description

In order to raise wettability and to improve soil release of polyester (PES) and polypropylene (PP) woven fabrics, atmospheric pressure plasma were applied. In this study, argon and air plasma were used for modification of PES and PP fabrics. The capillary method and contact angle measurements of plasma treated and untreated textile materials were applied to evaluate the improvement in water uptake of PES and PP fabrics. Chemical changes in the fabric surface after atmospheric plasma treatments were determine by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and XPS. Their surface morphologies were evaluated by SEM.
