“…This result was probably due to the larger concentration of hydroxyl or carbonyl groups on the oxygen/helium plasmatreated fiber surface. Similar results, using wool fabrics treated with helium and oxygen/helium APPJ, were reported by Xu et al [62] and Naebe et al [63].…”

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.

Chitosan (CS) was grafted on the wool after being wetted at different relative humidity (5 %, 65 % and 95 % RH) and induced by O 2 plasma to investigate the influence of wetting pretreatment on the structure and properties of plasma induced chitosan (PICS)-grafted wool fabric. The effects of the RH of wetting pretreatment, CS concentration and grafting time on weight gain ratio and PICS-grafted wool fabric properties including wettability, dyeability and shrink resistance were studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation showed that the scales on the wool fiber wetted at 95 % RH and then treated by O 2 plasma were more severely damaged. The surface roughness and polar group content of PICS-grafted wool fabrics increased with the RH of wetting pretreatment. The analysis results of surface morphology by SEM and chemical composition by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed much more CS on the surface of PICS-grafted wool fabric wetted at 95 % RH. The analysis results of weight gain ratio, contact angle, K/S value and area felting shrinkage manifested the optimum parameters of PICS grafting on the wool fabric wetted at 95 % RH could be set as the chitosan concentration of 2 g/l and the grafting time of 2 h. The machine washable wool fabric with the area felting shrinkage of 4.5 % and the better wettability and dyeability could be obtained by a new ecologically acceptable process of PICS grafting on the wool wetted at 95 % RH.

The influence of processing parameters on wettability improvement and its uniformity of wool fabric treated by atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) was explored. A woven wool fabric was treated by APPJ under various treatment conditions such as different treatment time, different oxygen flow rate, and different jet-to-substrate distance. The water absorption time of wool fabric was measured to determine wettability improvement. The diffusion photo of water droplet on wool fabric surface was taken by digital camera to reflect wettability uniformity. After APPJ treatment, SEM observation showed that the scales on the wool fiber surface directly facing plasma jet pores were destroyed than those on the other fiber surface. XPS analysis showed that the carbon concentration substantially decreased. The concentration of oxygen and nitrogen significantly increased and but the concentration of sulfur and silicon did not obviously changed. With the addition of oxygen gas, more polar groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl produced on wool fiber surface. The water absorption time of wool fabric greatly reduced indicating wettability improvement. The diffusion of water droplet on wool fabric surface was also larger and more homogenous suggesting uniform plasma treatment. It was concluded that the wettability improvement and its uniformity of the treated wool fabric increased and then decreased with the increasing oxygen flow rate and jet-tosubstrate distance, and increased with the increasing treatment time. Therefore to achieve reasonable wettability and its uniformity of the wool fabric treated by APPJ, plasma treatment conditions have to be carefully chosen.
