Abstract

The polyamide and polyester fabrics have been treated by glow discharge plasma and grafted with 2-
hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) in order to increase the hydrophilicity and to improve the soil release properties. The plasma treatments were carried out at different exposure times. Grafting was obtained with
gaseous HEMA and with alcohol or aqueous solution of HEMA at different concentrations. The physical
and chemical surface changes were studied using scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, colour
measurements. The hydrophilicity was assessed through the absorption time of a water drop and the soil
removal through washing by remission values.
