“…The enhanced hydrophilicity was caused by the formation of oxygen-containing polar groups (O-C=O groups and C=O groups) on the PET fiber surface, as revealed by the results of XPS analysis. Similar results, using PP nonwoven fabrics treated with low-pressure oxygen plasma, were reported by Armagan et al [81]. Effect of gas composition Morent et al [69] treated PET and PP nonwoven fabrics by medium-pressure DBD plasma using different gases namely air, helium, and argon.…”

In recent years, plasma treatment technology has attracted more attention in the textile industry, as it seems to be a promising economically and ecologically sound alternative to conventional wet-chemical processing techniques. Plasma surface treatment is a relatively simple process that is clean, solvent-free, time saving, and environmentally friendly. Moreover, plasma treatments offer the possibility to obtain typical textile finishes without changing the key textile properties. The efficiency of plasma treatment depends on several factors including the nature of the substrate and the treatment operating conditions. However, the application of plasma technology to different kinds of textile materials has not been fully exploited. This paper presents a review of the current literature on the surface modification of textiles by lowtemperature plasma (LTP) technology. Its main objectives are to (i) investigate the influence of LTP treatment on the surface properties of natural and man made textile materials, (ii) outline the contribution of LTP treatment towards sustainable development, and (iii) examine the hurdles that LTP has to overcome in the textile industry.

“…Otherwise, Plasma-surface modification (PSM) is an effective and economical surface treatment technique for many materials and is of growing interest in the field of biomedical engineering (Encinas et al, 2012). In particular, plasma treatment can improve adhesion strength, surface, and coating properties as well as mechanical-and biocompatibility (Chu et al, 2002;Encinas et al, 2012;Armağan et al, 2014). With respect to atmospheric plasma on the poly (lactic acid) (PLA) surface, plasma treatment promotes an increase in the surface energy of 59% from values of around 37.10 mJ m -2 to values close to 58.92 mJ m -2 .…”

Along with the current increases in human activities, air pollution, especially that generated from bioaerosols, has begun to receive more extensive attention. Among the bioaerosols, bacteria and fungi can result in organisms that are pathogenic to animals and humans. Therefore, a biological protective respirator with an antibacterial function would be a significant method by which to prevent epidemic spread of respiratory infectious diseases and protect human health. In this study, a type of facemask with an antibacterial function was prepared. The structure of the respirator included a respirator body and an inner filter layer that was assembled with herbal microcapsules. A kind of Chinese herb microcapsule developed through a cross-linking reaction method was successfully prepared to serve as an important component of the respirator. Scutellaria baicalensis (SB), a typical Chinese medicine, was employed to prepare the Chinese herb microcapsule. Three kinds of filter cloth (cotton, polyester fiber, and non-woven fabric, respectively) were employed to assemble with Chinese herb microcapsule. Meanwhile, the antibacterial performance and adhesion of the Chinese herb microcapsule for E. coli and S. aureus were investigated. The measurement results revealed that (i) the antibacterial efficiency of the Chinese herb microcapsule and the respirator filter was above approximately 99.999 and 96.000%, respectively; (ii) the adhesion of the herb microcapsules was still excellent after the filter was washed 100 times; (iii) the as-prepared antibacterial filter modified by an O 2 plasma-surface (PSM-O 2 ) treatment exhibited excellent antibacterial performance. Finally, a chamber simulation utilizing an Anderson first order sampler was designed to simulate the effect of wearing the antibacterial filter in a real environment. Overall, the respirator exhibited excellent biological protection properties compared with general masks, which will satisfy a vast number of application prospects.

“…The adhesion (peel bond) strength between two layers of polypropylene spun-bonded nonwovens, plasma treated and laminated by polyurethane-based adhesive, was improved by up to 150% compared to that of the untreated laminated samples [38,39]. This was attributed to the increased surface roughness of the polypropylene fibers due to the etching effect of the plasma treatment (Fig.…”

Plasma treatment has been used for surface activation and modification of textiles. The ionized, highly reactive species, such as ions, electrons, and radicals, in plasma modify the surface of the substrate material, and the composition of plasma depends on the gas used. Plasma technology is an environmentally friendly process and resource-efficient in nature. There is no solvent emission or wastewater in the process and drying processes with high energy and time consumption are not required. The textile applications of plasma include sterilization, wettability and hydrophobicity, dyeability enhancement, flame-retardant finishing, and antimicrobial properties. Plasma surface modification applied to fiber is a way to add value to a nonwoven fabric and enhance the functional performance of the final product. This chapter provides an overview of the plasma treatments of nonwovens that enhance their surface-related properties.
