Industries worldwide have been impacted by environmental regulations, economics, and ultimately consumers, which has led to more thought about the development of sustainable products. The textile industry is no exception. The preparation, dyeing, and finishing of textile fibres requires large amounts of water and other chemicals which may be toxic or hazardous. Green chemistry along with other green technologies may now play a leading role in this process. This book emphasises the importance of plasma treatment as a green and sustainable technology. A Novel Green Treatment for Textiles: Plasma Treatment as a Sustainable Technology discusses the plasma treatment of textile fibres and its environmental, economic, and social benefits. The book reviews the general properties of textiles and provides a description of the current treatment methods typically used today. The author then introduces the concept of plasma and its application in treating textile materials. The application of plasma as a pretreatment as well as a treatment in dyeing textiles is discussed. The book summarizes the application of plasma treatment in the printing and finishing of textiles. Also explored is the concept of sustainability and its role in the development of plasma treatments in textile wet processing. The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry are incorporated throughout the book.

The Textile Progress monograph series provides a critical and comprehensive examination of the origination and application of developments in the textile industry and its products. This issue reviews the development of wool treatment with plasma technology. Owing to the effect of pollution caused by various chemical treatments, physical treatments such as plasma treatment has been introduced recently as it is capable of achieving a descaling effect on wool fibre. Since plasma treatment can be used to alter wool surface by removing the outer layer, thus the method of generation of plasma and the reaction mechanisms between the wool surface and plasma species will be highlighted in this issue. In addition, factors such as (i) the nature of plasma gas, (ii) gas flow rate, (iii) system pressure and (iv) discharge power that affects the final results of plasma treatments will be discussed. The issue covers the application of plasma treatment on wool under different industrial application conditions such as dyeing and shrinkproofing and the common methods employed for characterising the surface properties of plasma-treated wool. In addition, the serviceability of plasma-treated wool will be discussed based on standard performance specification. Book jacket.
