| Abstract | ||||
| In order to improve the quality of the fabric, the textile industry is looking for innovative manufacturing technologies. Additionally, society needs modern environmental finishing techniques, such as the use of atmospheric pressure plasma for surface modification of textiles. These techniques include corona discharge, atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ), atmospheric pressure glow discharge (APGD), and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). These techniques are becoming more and more popular in the textile industry because they offer numerous benefits over traditional wet processing methods. Since cold plasma, also known as non-thermal plasma, may modify the polymeric surface without changing the material's bulk properties, it is thought to be superior to other common modification techniques. Air or standard industrial gases, such as hydrogen H2, nitrogen N2, and oxygen O2 at room pressure, can be used to start a plasma. Unlike chemical treatment, plasma treatment does not include the treatment of dangerous chemicals, hence there are no effluent issues. One of these physical methods used to treat thickeners and enhance their rheological characteristics is plasma treatment. After plasma therapy, active surface groups are added by plasma to give fabrics like cotton, linen, polyester, and surface fabrics qualities like antibacterial, UV, flame retardant, self-cleaning, and antistatic. This review paper gives brief information about the benefits of using plasma for various textile finishing processes by critically analyzing recent research and illustrating the many kinds and mechanism of plasma technique. | ||||
