Investigation of polyethyleneterephtalate modification on the graphene oxidecoating and it’s water absorption

In this work, surface coating of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using graphene oxide(GO) wasreported to investigate water absorption. PET fabric was pre-treated with amine(positive charge) andalkali(negative negative) to investigate the affinity between graphene oxide nanosheets and polyesterfabric. The results revealed alkali modification exhibited the best GO uptake(۱۶.۶%) and the time ofvertical wicking improved from ۳۶۰۰(s)(PET) to ۳۰۰(s). The outcomes of FTIR and FE-SEMconfirmed the successful coating of GO on polyester fabric.
