The capillary rise method was applied to evaluate the improvement in water uptake of polyester and acrylic fabrics obtained by plasma treatment. Power, exposure time and gas type (nitrogen, air and oxygen) were considered as plasma variables. After plasma treatment, fabric samples were tested through capillary rise of water. The processing of a set of height absorption values vs. time, until equilibrium is reached, allows characterisation of the wettability of samples by three parameters. The influence of plasma variables on these parameters was studied.

- A review of low-temperature plasma treatment of textile materials (2015, background): “However, given the heterogeneous structure of textile materials, evaluation of the wettability of plasmatreated surfaces is usually done by indirect methods such as wetting time and wicking [57].”
- A universal law for capillary rise in corners (2011, background): “The studies of dynamical wetting (Hoffman 1974; Tanner 1979; de Gennes 1985) later showed that this is generally not the case, so that the Lucas–Washburn law must be corrected in the first steps of the rise (Siebold 2000; Wolf 2010). Another assumption in this law is that inertia is negligible. When”
