“…Cotton fabrics when exposed to low‐pressure DC glow discharge plasma in argon showed a significant increase in wicking behaviour, an effect that rises with increasing treatment time. Results also explain that plasma treatment leads to surface attrition of the cellulose fibres, accompanied by an incorporation of oxygen‐containing groups . Ethanol pre‐treated cellulosic ramie fabric followed by an atmospheric helium plasma treatment was prepared to test the degree of improvement in mechanical properties of ramie‐fabric‐reinforced polypropylene composites.…”

Plasma technology applied to textiles is a dry, environmentally‐ and worker‐friendly method to achieve surface alteration without modifying the bulk properties of different materials. In particular, atmospheric non‐thermal plasmas are suited because most textile materials are heat sensitive polymers and applicable in a continuous processes. In the last years plasma technology has become a very active, high growth research field, assuming a great importance among all available material surface modifications in textile industry. The main objective of this review is to provide a critical update on the current state of art relating plasma technologies applied to textile industry.

In this paper, glow discharge plasma operating in air atmosphere has been used to improve the surface hydrophilic and antibacterial properties of the polyester non-woven fabric. The wicking height results show that the surface hydrophilic property of the fabric samples is greatly improved with plasma treatment. The analysis of SEM shows that the surface roughness of the treated fabric samples increases due to etching in plasma processing. The analysis of FTIR and XPS indicate that oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing polar functional groups and addition that copper is embedded on the polyester surface in plasma processing. Plasma-treated samples will use to good padding cloth and dressing cloth.

“…A literature survey indicates that a gaseous (air, oxygen, nitrogen, argon, ammonia) plasma treatment on different textile fibers improves hydrophilic properties due to incorporation of polar functional groups, as well as etching of the surface, causing an increase in the effective area of contact. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Improved wettability facilitates adhesion and dyeability.…”

In the present investigation, wool fabric was treated with a low‐temperature air plasma. The plasma discharge power and treatment time were varied. The effect of plasma treatment on various fabric properties such as wettability, wickability, dyeability, crease recovery angle, breaking strength, and elongation at break was investigated. Surface morphology was studied using SEM micrographs. The fabric became substantially hydrophilic even with a short duration of air plasma treatment of 30 s with improvement in dye uptake and in the rate of dyeing when dyed at a lower temperature. Under these treatment conditions, aging was almost nil in a dry environment, even after 45 days, whereas some aging was observed in a humid (75% relative humidity) environment. A 20% increase in the breaking strength and 24% increase in the elongation at break were observed with reduction in wrinkle recovery angle to 133–144° from 169° for untreated fabric. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
