Abstract

The textile industry is seeking innovative manufacturing technology to increase the quality of the fabric, and society needs modern environmental finishing techniques, such as using plasma Treatment as atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharge (APDBD) corona discharge at atmospheric pressure (CDAP) which are gaining popularity in the textile industry due to their many advantages over traditional wet processing methods the textiles industry is gaining in popularity. The initiation of plasma by air or conventional industrial gases, such as hydrogen H2, N2 and oxygen O2 at ambient pressures, may be accomplished. Plasm introduces usable surface groups to provide properties such as antibacterial, UV, flame retardant and antistatic that are used in various fabrics such as cotton, linen, polyester, and surface fabrics after plasma therapy.
