“…The authors concluded that the gas selection took priority over other parameters regarding the plasma penetration into the heterogeneous textile structure. Da Silva et al [84] studied the surface modification of PET fabrics by low-pressure plasma using three different gaseous atmospheres with mixtures of argon, nitrogen, and/or oxygen (Ar ? N 2 ; N 2 ?…”

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.

“…Multi-layers fabric of hydrophilic and hydrophobic material was developed in order to improve its moisture management [20,21]. Various techniques have been emphasized to develop better moisture management such as combining Polyester with different natural fiber types, microfiber, Bi-component fiber, especially different cross-section, plasma treatment and applying surface finish [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. A material such as cellulose that is produced by both plants and bacteria on a totally sustainable basis assumes great significance for future materials development [41,42].…”

In this work we studied the effect of surface treated fabric by applying Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) Particles using two different procedures. The first method was to dissolve MCC particles and form a MCC solution which further was blended with a textile binder to obtain the fabric coating. The second treatment was direct blending MCC particles with same textile binder in order to get the fabric finishing to be sprayed on the fabric surface. The percentage of MCC particles was chosen 6%, as this ratio can be considered the most appropriate one. The effect of these treatments on fabrics moisture wettability with varying percentage of coating was studied. It was concluded that the second method by spraying MCC Particles directly on the fabric surface gives superior improved fabric's wettability and moisture management than solving the MCC and coating the fabric surface. The morphological study using SEM confirmed the presence of MCC particles on the fabric surface; therefore, intensification fiber surface energy leads to increase the wicking properties and increase the rate of water absorption. ª 2015 Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University.

“…Adhesion properties are influenced by two properties of polymers (here fiber-coating polymer) simultaneously: surface energy and macromolecular mobility. There are four fundamental mechanisms that contribute to the total adhesion between two polymer materials: mechanical interlocking, interdiffusion of chains, electrical interactions and chemical interactions [3,[7][8][11][12][13]. Two different solutions can be regarded to increase the adhesion between coating polymer and the fabric.…”

“…Plasma processing is a dry and environmentally-friendly technique, which does not call for a vast supply of water, heating or drying, and requires only little amounts of chemicals to reach the desired functionality. Investigating literature, it is seen that plasma treatment about polyester materials are focused on wettability, dyeability and yield in wet treatment [3,12,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Applying plasma technology, it is possible to obtain or increase the number of chemical groups at the interface that enhance binding between polymer and fiber.…”

Conveyor belt production requires good adhesion between coating layer and fabrics. Adhesion is important for good mechanical properties of belts. Silicone rubber has gained importance in food carrying because it is harmless when being in contact with food materials. The aim of this study is to enhance the problematic adhesion properties between polyester fabrics and silicone rubber coating by plasma treatment. The fabrics are modified by air or argon RF plasmas under different power and time conditions. Influence of plasma parameters was investigated by adhesion strength tests. To investigate changes on adhesion, wettability measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were performed untreated and plasma treated polyester fabrics. After plasma treatments, the coating adhesion between fabric and coating polymer was increased approximately for 4.6 times for argon and 4.3 times for air plasmas.
