UV irradiation-assisted grafting of poly(ethylene terephthalate) fabrics

- Efficient UV-assisted (254 nm) grafting of PET textile fabrics.
- UV-irradiation a stream of gaseous Cl2 produces chlorinated PET surface.
- Easy handling, low-cost, solvent-free and continuous process UV irradiation.
- Maintaining of PET fabrics bulk properties while drastically changing their surface.
- Improved dying (with cationic dyes) of the modified surface of PET fabrics.
