“…Zhang et al [194] showed that the water-repellent properties of plasma-coated cotton fabric were superior to those of Scotchgard-sprayed samples within short treatment time (30 s). Davis et al [195] showed that atmospheric-pressure plasma could be successfully used to confer durable waterrepellent functionality on cotton/polyester blend fabric.…”

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.

“…Radical graft polymerization is considered as a possible and effective method for chemically incorporating (grafting) various functional vinyl monomers onto PET surfaces . Traditional radical graft polymerization lacks controllability and efficiency of reaction on PET surfaces . Recently, we have reported an effective approach of controlling radical graft polymerization on PET fiber surfaces with two representative monomers, tetramethyl‐4‐piperidinyl methacrylate (TMPM) and 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐1‐propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) .…”

Functional chemical modifications on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers via radical graft polymerization could be controlled by managing mutual interactions and affinities between different components in the grafting reaction system. Hansen solubility parameters was used as a tool to quantify affinities of related agents and the polymer, and provided reliable results. The latest results proved the practicality of using Hansen solubility parameters in controlling radical graft polymerizations on surface modifications of PET fibers. Four different monomers with different hydrophilic properties in different solvent and initiator systems were examined, and results confirmed that interactions of initiator‐PET, initiator‐solvent, monomer‐PET, monomer‐solvent, and monomer‐initiator play important roles in determining the grafting reaction efficiency. Results revealed that for the selected grafting systems studied, hydrophilic monomers presented overall favoring affinities toward PET leading to higher grafting yields compared to hydrophobic monomers. The results have instructive impact to commercial applications. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018, 135, 45990.

“…To improve hydrophobic properties of materials, appropriate chemical modifications of its surface are used to get water contact angles of about 120°. At present, fluorocarbon polymers are chemical compounds most often used to impart hydrophobic properties to products [5]. The widespread use of fluorocarbons results from its very low surface energy and also strong hydrophobic properties.…”

The aim of the study is to show how the washing process, while considering the type of washing agent and number of wash cycles, determines the durability of hydrophobic finishes of laminated fabrics. The samples of material were subject to multiple wash cycles in clear water and with the use of two types of washing agents, namely, an ordinary washing powder and a detergent recommended by manufacturers of functional clothing. The washed materials were subject to spray test and its waterproofing and degree of surface wetting were evaluated. The tests have shown that waterproofing of membrane laminates with DWR (durable water repellent) coating become deteriorated during washing treatment and the use of special detergent does not guaranty the maintenance of better coating properties than an ordinary washing agent.
