ABSTRACT

In the recent years, the increasing environmental concerns and demands for eco-friendly textile processes and highly functional cellulosic textile products with higher added value and better durability have increased signiicantly. New co-applications of certain sustainable polymers with the advancement of emerging technologies such as nano and plasma technologies for the functionalization of cellulose-based textiles impart novel or signiicantly enhance functional properties. Such properties include antibacterial, UV protection, self-cleaning, lame retardancy, and easy care.
