Plasma is more environmentally friendly application compared to conventional wet processes with its advantages such as low energy, water and chemical consumption. In previous studies different non- thermal plasma systems have been applied to textile surfaces, and in some applications, an increase in the dye uptake of the material has been determined. In this study, Openair® plasma system, a technique that has not been evaluated yet its effect on the dyeability of textile surfaces, has been studied. The warp knitted fabrics with 100% polyester content were treated with Openair® plasma system in 3 different times. Then untreated reference sample and treated samples were colored with dispers and pigment dyes under equal dyeing conditions. SEM and FT/IR analyzes and color measurements with a spectrophotometer were performed.
