Method for increasing hydrophilicity of a fabric material of synthetic fibers

摘要

Hydrophilicity of a poorly hydrophilic fabric material of synthetic fibers can be remarkably and durably increased by the synergistic effect of the treatments first with a specific hydrophilic agent, e.g. water-absorbent agent and antistatic agent, and then by exposure to low temperature plasma generated in an atmosphere of oxygen or oxygen-containing gaseous mixture so that the capacity of the fabric material for water absorption is greatly increased and the antistatic performance thereof is greatly improved with decreased surface resistivity and charge voltage induced by rubbing.
