Abstract

Cotton cellulose fibers were modified in inert plasma. Surface morphology of the modified fibers was studied by SEM and changes in the surface composition by XPS and FTIR. Standard goniometry was used for determination of contact angle as a function of modified fiber aging. Absorptivity of modified fibers was determined by gravimetry and fiber width in physiological solution, simulating body liquids, by confocal microscopy. Antibacterial effect of pristine and plasma treated samples was examined by following growth of Escherichia coli. Plasma treatment led to surface ablation, changes in surface morphology and fiber width. Surface of the plasma modified fibers was oxidized and their water absorptivity was reduced. The plasma modification did not affect E. coli growth substantially.
