Textile chemistry is important for numerous markets, including clothing, automotive, and outdoor recreation industries. Plasma treatment is a dry, non-toxic process that can make textiles water-repellent, oil-repellent, or both. In this application note, you will learn about the many ways plasma treatment can be used to alter textile chemistry. These include increasing textile hydrophobicity, extending the lifetime of fiber-polymer composites, improving the adhesion of textile coatings, and creating moisture-wicking channels in fiber-based microfluidic devices.
