Abstract

Abstract : Functional, reactive and smart textiles are nowadays of great interest in the fields of both cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Textile functionalization according to demands of the consumers can only be achieved with better understanding of the properties of the textile surface as well as sound knowledge about the technique to be used to functionalize the textiles. The aim of this work was to investigate the zeta potential of polyamide textile and prepared sponge like particles as a function of pH and salinity of the electrolyte. Special attention has been dedicated to the electrokinetic properties of textile as a function of sponge like particles amount present during adsorption process. As a general tendency, streaming potential measurement showed the changes in surface charge density of textile because of the changes in pH, salinity and adsorbed particles amount. All presented results were discussed in terms of zeta potential. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
