Press Release Body =
Plasma technologies for textiles

Plasma technologies present an environmentally-friendly and versatile way of
treating textile materials in order to enhance a variety of properties such as
wettability, liquid repellency, dyeability and coating adhesion. Recent advances
made in commercially viable plasma systems have greatly increased the potential of
using plasma technology in industrial textile finishing. This pioneering book
provides an essential guide to both the technology and science related to plasmas
and its practical applications in the textile industry.

The first part of the book discusses the science and technology behind plasmas.
Chapters give detailed and comprehensive descriptions on the characteristics of
plasmas and methods of control and treatment in the processing of textiles. Both low
pressure cold plasma and atmospheric pressure cold plasma processes are described as
well as the diagnosis and control of plasma parameters in plasma generating
reactors. A chapter is devoted to the use of plasma technology to achieve nanoscale
treatment of textile surfaces. The second part of the book concentrates on specific
applications of plasma technologies. Chapters cover treatments for water and oil
repellency of textiles, engineering of biomedical textiles and woollen finishing
techniques through the use of plasma technologies. Further chapters cover the
modification of fibres for use in composites and the potential use of plasma
technologies for the finishing of fabrics made of man made fibres. The final chapter
in the book gives a comprehensive analysis of the surface chemical and physical
characterisation of plasma treated fabrics.

Written by a distinguished international team of experts, Plasma technologies for
textiles is an invaluable reference for researchers, scientists and technologists
alike
Summarises both the science and technology of plasma processing, and its practical
applications
Discusses how plasma technology improves textile properties such as wettability and
liquid repelling
An invaluable reference for researchers, scientists and technologists
