Abstract
Aging effect of plasma treatment on wettability, sorption of silver, and antimicrobial activity b i Aging effect, as stated in the introduction, occurs after plasma treatment, when the activated surface of fibers changes its properties over time (Shishoo [38]). Yeast I C. albicans i is the least susceptible to the activity of antimicrobial cotton samples; however, the activity of samples also increases with aging after plasma treatment, especially after treatment in oxygen and nitrogen. Moisture sorption (Figure 1b) is less affected by plasma treatment (the results are within the limits of the measurement error) probably due to the fact that plasma treatment itself is a surface based modification method while the bulk of material (which is responsible for moisture sorption) is nearly unaffected by the plasma treatment.
