• Description: We provide the straightforward method for plasma-assisted polymerization of acrylic acid (AAc) on fibres of polypropylene nonwoven textile (PPNT) and polypropylene (BOPP) foil by using the electrical discharge generated in AAc water solution. This so-called diaphragm discharge ensures the formation of plasma when high pulse voltage (~25 kV) with a frequency of 100 Hz and microdischarge duration in the order of nanoseconds is applied.
