Recent advances in the application of plasma in textile finishing (A Review)

Abstract

T HE TEXTILE industry is seeking innovative manufacturing technology to increase the quality of the fabric, and society needs modern environmental finishing techniques, such as using plasma Treatment as atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharge (APDBD) corona discharge at atmospheric pressure (CDAP) which are gaining popularity in the textile industry due to their many advantages over traditional wet processing methods the textiles industry is gaining in popularity. The initiation of plasma by air or conventional industrial gases, such as hydrogen H2, N2 and oxygen O2 at ambient pressures, may be accomplished. Plasm introduces usable surface groups to provide properties such as antibacterial, UV, flame retardant and antistatic that are used in various fabrics such as cotton, linen, polyester, and surface fabrics after plasma therapy.

Cotton fabric surface treatment by plasma-deposited hexamethyldisilazane thin films

“…The versatility of plasma technology is vast and improves various properties of fabrics such as wettability, static electricity, cleaning, shrinkage resistance, UV resistance, abrasion resistance, flame retardancy, dye absorption, and even medical engineering applications (El-Sayed & Hassabo, 2021).…”

Multivariate Correlation Analysis of the Electroconductive Textiles Obtained Using Functionalization by Radio-Frequency Oxygen Plasma Treatments

“…Moreover, for cotton fabrics [7][8][9][10], RF plasma oxygen was used to generate the surface activation for preliminary surface preparation to be treated with ZnO nanoparticles [11,12] or titanium dioxide [13,14]. In addition, several types of research present the use of plasma O 2 treatment to improve the metal absorption [15,16] or to generate an antibacterial [17][18][19] or antimicrobial activity [20] on cotton fabric modified by low-temperature plasma. Numerous investigations use plasma to create electroconductive surfaces [21] using silver nanoparticles and polypyrrole [22] or copper [23].…”
