The capillary rise method was applied to evaluate the improvement in water uptake of
polyester and acrylic fabrics obtained by plasma treatment. Power, exposure time and gas …

The functionalization of synthetic polymers such as poly (ethylene terephthalate) to improve
their hydrophilicity can be achieved biocatalytically using hydrolytic enzymes. A number of …

Dyeing cotton fabrics with anionic dyes produces high effluent loads and requires a
considerable amount of water and energy due to the electrostatic repulsion with cellulose …

Polypropylene and nylon 66 fabrics are subjected to atmospheric pressure He and He-O2
