Description
Summary:This paper discusses specific properties of textile products that influence plasma-textile interactions and impede both the fundamental understanding and the commercial application of plasma technology in the textile industry: (a) a large specific surface, (b) the three-dimensional porous structure and (c) the presence of impurities at the fiber surface, as well as in the fiber structure. The paper also clarifies the need for “plasma-for-textiles” i.e. a generic approach to the plasma treatment of textiles.
