Effect of plasma treatment on polyester knitted fabrics: Part II — Moisture management properties

Abstract

This study focuses on the moisture management properties of plasma-treated polyester knitted fabrics (spun, continuous filament, micro denier and hollow fibre). The effect of different loop lengths and the impact of oxygen plasma treatment on the moisture management properties of the fabric has also been studied. The moisture management properties are better for the plasma-treated fabric and also for the fabric having highest loop length. The moisture management properties of the fabric have been improved with the oxygen plasma treatment.
