  The wettability of poly (ethylene terephthalate) and polyamide fabrics is important for industrial use. This property can be obtained by treatment of fabrics using chemical and physical methods such as alkaline etching, plasma discharge treatments and laser irradiation. Some treatments change the surface of the fibers and fabrics so that causes negative effects of soil release in laundering process for costumer usage. In this research, poly (ethylene terephthalate) and polyamide 66 fabrics were exposed to atmospheric air plasma discharge and Excimer laser instrument. Wettability and soil release behavior of treated fabrics were determined and surface characteristics of atmospheric air plasma discharge and laser treated fabrics were assessed by SEM and FTIR/ATR analysis. Laser treatment of poly (ethylene terephthalate) fabric makes carboxylic acid groups which causes hydrophilicity on .. Read More»
