Synthetic polyester fabrics occupy a great part of the textile industry production satisfying
variable ordinary needs. Nonetheless, their high hydrophobicity constitutes an important
weakness that impedes process manufacture, as well as permeability and evaporation of
sweat when used in clothing industry. The enzymatic treatment of these materials is a
modern and eco-friendly procedure that aims at the increase of the hydrophilicity through
superficial modification. In this study, the enzymatic surface hydrolysis of poly (ethylene …
