Beschreibung:
Focusing on green chemistry and sustainability, this book discusses how plasma treatment is used to modify textile properties. It highlights the benefits of generating plasma and the reaction mechanisms between the surface of a textile and plasma species. The text addresses the nature of plasma gas, gas flow rate, system pressure, and discharge power that affect the results of plasma treatments. An opening chapter presents the environmental, economic, and social costs of current methods of treating textiles. Throughout the book, the author explains how the 12 principles of green chemistry can be applied to the textile industry.
