Sažetak
In order to improve hydrophilicity, dyeing and antimicrobial properties of wool, the potentialapplication of low-pressure oxygen plasma pretreatment was explored. After optimization of process parameters, samples of wool fabrics were dyed with natural dye extracted from Punica granatum L. The effect of plasma pretreatment and mordants on colorimetric and antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae was investigated. The results revealed a significant improvement in wicking ability and tensile strength of all tested samples. Plasma pretreatment proved to be suitable for improving color yield and even replacing the application of certain mordants in the process of dyeing wool with pomegranate dye. All samples exhibited good antibacterial activity against tested bacteria. Only a slight decrease in color strength and antibacterial activity is visible on plasma pretreated samples after 28 days of aging.
