Abstract

In order to study the modification of wettability, tactility, and bathochromicity of the poly (ethylene Terephthalate) (PET) fabrics, low-temperature plasma$(O_2)$ has been irradiated on the PET fabrics in various conditions. The results obtained from this study were as follows; 1) The weight loss rate of plasma-treated PET fabrics is proportional to irradiation time and internal gas temperature of treating chamber. Also, the effect of weight loss is remarkable at gas pressure ranging from 3 torr to 5 torr. 2) The bathochromic effect of PET fabrics treated with low-temperature plasma$(O_2)$ was improved.
