ABSTRACT
Technologies developed initially were based on the properties of low pressure plasmas, and it cannot be used for production lines operating at room temperature with machines processing wide width fabric at high speed. Despite all the benefits, plasma processing failed to make an impact in the textile sector mainly due to this particular constraint which is incompatible with industrial mass production. This led to the development of atmospheric pressure plasmas. Plasma treatments at atmospheric pressure enable to combine it with in-line spraying or aqueous aerosol treatments. In contrast, the low-pressure plasma treatments are carried out in batch process. Further, compare to low pressure plasma, equipments used to generate atmospheric plasma are less expensive and their maintenance cost is also low.
