Abstract
PET fabrics were photografted under continuous UV irradiation with vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) and acryloyl-morpholine(ACMO) as monomers and benzophenone as a hydrogen-abstractable photoinitiator. ACMO can be grafted onto the PET fabrics more efficiently than VP. The grafted PET surfaces were characterized by ATR, ESCA, SEM and zeta potential measurement. ATR and ESCA analysis indicated significant alterations on chemical structure and atomic composition on the surface of the grafted fabrics, where nitrogen content increased with increas;ing grafting yield SEM images showed that the fabric surface was covered with the grafted polymers. The zeta potentials and the water wettability of the grafted PET increased wilh grafting. Also the photografted fabrics showed an increcased dyeablity to reactivc dyes and increased affinity to various iodine species which imparted anti-bacterial properties.
