After the iipase modification, there were more carboxyi groups on the treated poly （ethylene terephthalate） fabric surface that resulted in binding with more cationic dyes. Increased hydrophilicity and antistatic ability of poly （ethylene terephthalate） samples were found based on moisture regain, water contact angle and static half decay time.展开更多
