One of the major components of nanotechnology is Carbon nanotube (CNT) that can have a lengthto-diameter ratio more than 1,000,000. They are used in several fields in material science, due to their exceptional electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, which are anisotropic. Different techniques have been developed to produce CNT. They have good potential for applications in various technological areas such as nanoelectronic, biotechnology, material science, polymer, composite, and textile industries. In this paper, recent researches on application of CNT in textile industry are reviewed. Treatment of textiles with CNT leads to the production of a wide variety of conductive textiles with different electrical properties. The wear performances of fabrics apply with CNT to open the potentiality of producing composite materials for conventional and innovative applications, ranging from conventional apparel and sportswear to protective clothing, heating equipment, automotive textiles, building covering, geo-textiles, biomedical textiles, etc.

“…Previously, some researchers have used antistatic agents for grafting or coating along with plasma technology on PET [4,[16][17][18][19] and cotton [4,20,21] fibers to reduce their static charge generation. Additionally, a few studies have been done on PET fibers by using atmospheric pressure plasma alone [12,22].…”

The conventional chemical-based antistatic agents possess ecological and technological drawbacks, such as altering the bulk characteristics, flammability, and toxicity, but not the cost effective process. Recently, using conductive metal fibers in the woven structure also affects the mechanical properties of the fabric. To overcome these challenges, plasma treatment needs to be quite an effective method. In this study, polyester/cotton (P/C), 65/35%, blend fabric was treated in a vacuum-plasma-chamber using air, argon and oxygen. The electro-physical property of the samples were evaluated by measuring the surface and volume resistivities (ρs, ρv) using textile electrode Tera Ohmmeter (TO-3). Textile Softness Analyzer (TSA) has also been used to investigate hand-feel properties of the fabric. After treatment, the results revealed that the surface resistivity was reduced by 35.5% in the case of O2, 27.3% for air and 18.4% for Ar, and also volume resistivity was decreased by 40.9%, 20.3% and 20% after O2, air and Ar-plasma, respectively, whereas hand-feel properties are slightly affected at a higher power level and treatment time. Out of the three gases, oxygen had less effect on hand-feel properties and highly reduced the fabric resistivity. In addition, the SEM images showed that the surface morphology of the fibers changed to being rough due to the plasma.

“…Plasma is an ionized gas, which contains ions, electrons, excited molecules and photons. Recently, there have been several reports of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma conducted on the surface modification of fabrics, which generates the fabrics with better performance, such as increased comfort and water absorption properties [21][22][23]. The DBD plasma treatment is a "green" method of surface modification.…”

PVC-TiO2-DBD nanocomposites were synthesized via combined approaches of electrospinning, H2 plasma treatment and hydrothermal reaction. The spinning solution composition and the amount of PVC were investigated and optimized in order to obtain membranes with uniform structure and high chemical activity. It was found that TiO2 NPs were distributed homogeneously on the surface of the PVC fibers. Chemical bonds such as Ti-Cl and C-O-Ti bonds were formed to tightly immobilize the TiO2 NPs on the PVC surface. The effect of H2 plasma treatment on the surface of the PVC membranes was studied. Meanwhile, using ABS and PS as substrates, the influence of various groups, including chlorine bonds, C=C double bonds, cyano and phenyl groups on the possible promotion mechanism of different chemical bonds for the TiO2 deposition was also studied. Possible mechanisms for the enhancement of the deposition of TiO2 were given.
