Abstract :In this study, water vapour permeability, wrinkle recovery, UV protection and contact angle properties of ion implanted Polyester insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PES); fabrics were investigated. In order to achieve this goal; a Metal Vapor Vacuum Arc insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MEVVA); source implanted Pb, Ag, Ag+N, Ti+O and Cr+O to the PES fabrics with 5x1016 ion/cm2 and 30 kV acceleration voltage. The test results were compared with unimplanted PES fabric. The results indicated that UV Protection and contact angle values increased significantly and also almost no change observed at water vapour permeability and wrinkle recovery. These results also varied on severly with different ion species.
