Sažetak
The success of textile fibre and fabrics processing strongly depends on their surface properties. Not only the specific functionalization of high-performance textiles, but also the traditional applications of dyestuffs, optical brighteners or finishing agents require knowledge of the physics and chemistry of the fibre surface and its interaction with the environment. The surface charge is a crucial parameter for the enhancement or suppression of the adsorption of the accepted or undesirable components such as surfactants or dyestuff as well as proteins or simply dust particles. The streaming potential method has been applied for many years to access necessary information about changes in the surface charge of differently treated textiles. However, the usefulness of this measuring technique is still underestimated. This paper discusses the concept of zeta potential as an indicator of textiles surface chemistry. Application of the streaming potential method covers the characterization of different treatment of cotton fabrics. Furthermore, a study was made on any influence by the soiling and washing of cotton fabrics on the zeta potential.
