Abstract

The use of two environmentally friendly technologies, the 'plasma' and 'laser' approaches, in treating the surface of textiles is discussed in this chapter. The surface of fibrous materials can be functionalized and structured on the nano- and micro-scales, and the results of the treatment of natural and synthetic fibres such as wool, cotton, polypropylene, polyester and polyamide which have been treated by different plasmas and lasers are detailed and are found to be similar to morphological modification of a textile surface using the 'ripple/roll-structure' technique.
