In this work, the hydrophilic improvement of a woven PET surface was accomplished by a plasma technique. The woven PET surface was plasma-treated by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) under various operating conditions (electrode gap distance, plasma treatment time, input voltage, and input frequency) and various gaseous environments (air, O-2, N-2, and Ar) in order to improve its hydrophilicity. It was experimentally found that a decrease in electrode gap distance and an increase in input voltage increased the electric field strength, leading to higher hydrophilicity of the PET surface characterized by wickability and contact angle measurements. In comparisons among the studied environmental gases, air gave the highest hydrophilicity, being comparable to O-2, while Ar and N-2 gave lower hydrophilicity of the woven PET surface. The optimum conditions for a maximum hydrophilicity of the PET surface were an electrode gap distance of 4 mm, a plasma treatment time of 10 s, an output voltage of 15 kV, and a frequency of 350 Hz under air environment. After the plasma treatment under the obtained optimum conditions, the woven PET was loaded with Ag particles using a AgNO3 aqueous solution in order to obtain the antimicrobial property. The plasma-treated woven PET loaded with Ag particles exhibited good antimicrobial activity against both E. coli (gram-negative bacteria) and S. aureus (gram-positive bacteria).
