“…The results also indicated that PET fabric with a very effective surface was achieved by combining the nitrogen plasma and cationization process, leading to better color, weight resilience, traction strength, and ruggedness [57]. Polyester (PET) is one of the most polyester synthetic fibers used today in several textile goods [59]. PET is distinguished by superior mechanical strength, organic solvent resistance and many other chemicals, wrinkle resistance, and environmental resistance, including UV radiation [60].…”

P LASMA treatment for almost all synthetic and cellulosic textiles is considered to be one of these physical technologies. Plasma treatment does not involve the treatment of hazardous chemicals and thus, compared to chemical treatment, there are no problems with effluents. The study demonstrated that most types of materials (natural synthetics and blends) with natural dye using pigment printing techniques can be printed using high-quality plasma radiation. It is an environmentally friendly process, fast-growing, and finds certain potential applications. The study claims that polyester plasma therapy and surface modifications can alleviate difficulties with printing. The study investigates the treatment of a PET fabric with an efficient plasma approach to activate the surface before cationization treatment.

With the advancement of nanotechnology and electroactive materials, conventional textiles have transformed into a versatile wearable electronic platform that will inevitably escalate the development of next‐generation flexible electronics. Integration of nanoscale conductive particles such as polymers, metals, or nanocarbons into different structural textile design has simplified the way of personal interactive communications and portable sensing by distributing superior stretchability and functionality in a smart textile device. However, for the real‐life application, it is crucial to recognize the functional reliability of wearable textile electronics. This review comprehensively summarizes the recent progress in electronic textiles (e‐textiles) using different electroactive materials and textile architectures for numerous wearable applications. The first section highlights different textile architectures used in e‐textiles and their various properties. Various electroactive polymers from carbon, metal, and conductive polymers, including their electromechanical properties and wash durability, are then discussed. Subsequently, progress in textile‐based energy harvesting and storage, personal thermal management, flexible sensing, electrocardiography (ECG), electromagnetic interference shielding are presented. Finally, the remaining challenges regarding the current materials and processing strategies are pointed out, and practical strategies to fully realize e‐textile systems are suggested.

“…The properties of polyester (PET) fabric, such as its high strength, dimensional and thermal stability, and excellent chemical properties, make it one of the preferred materials for high-performance textiles for medical and protective applications. However, the lack of polar groups on its backbone makes it highly hydrophobic, resulting in poor wettability and adhesion, making its coloration, functionalization, as well as proliferation of pathogens difficult. − To improve the adhesion of MNPs, the PET has been functionalized with functional groups, namely, alcohol, carboxylic acid, and amine groups . Several researchers have reported the usage of surface modification techniques such as photo-induced irradiation, electron beam irradiation, enzymatic modification, alkaline hydrolysis, aminolysis, alcoholysis, and plasma treatments. , …”

Polyester (PET) fabrics are widely applied in functional textiles due to their outstanding properties such as high strength, dimensional stability, high melting point, low cost, recyclability, and flexibility. Nevertheless, the lack of polar groups in the PET structure makes its coloration and functionalization difficult. The present work reports the one-step in situ synthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) onto the PET fabric employing sodium hypophosphate and ascorbic acid as reducing and stabilizing agents, at acidic (pH 2) and alkaline pH (pH 11). This synthesis (i) used safer reagents when compared with traditional chemicals for CuNP production, (ii) was performed at a moderate temperature (85 °C), and (iii) used no protective inert gas. The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma was used as an environmentally friendly method for the surface functionalization of PET to enhance the adhesion of CuNPs. The size of the CuNPs in an alkaline reaction (76–156 nm for not treated and 93.4–123 nm for DBD plasma-treated samples) was found to be smaller than their size in acidic media (118–310 nm for not treated and 249–500 nm for DBD plasma-treated samples), where the DBD plasma treatment promoted some agglomeration. In acidic medium, metallic copper was obtained, and a reddish color became noticeable in the textile. In alkaline medium, copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) was detected, and the PET samples exhibited a yellow color. The PET samples with CuNPs presented improved ultraviolet protection factor values. Finally, a minimal concentration of copper salt was studied to obtain the optimized antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The functionalized samples showed strong antibacterial efficacy using low-concentration solutions in the in situ synthesis (2.0 mM of copper salt) and even after five washing cycles. The DBD plasma treatment improved the antibacterial action of the samples prepared in the alkaline medium.
