Plasma treatment has been used for surface activation and modification of textiles. The ionized, highly reactive species, such as ions, electrons, and radicals, in plasma modify the surface of the substrate material, and the composition of plasma depends on the gas used. Plasma technology is an environmentally friendly process and resource-efficient in nature. There is no solvent emission or wastewater in the process and drying processes with high energy and time consumption are not required. The textile applications of plasma include sterilization, wettability and hydrophobicity, dyeability enhancement, flame-retardant finishing, and antimicrobial properties. Plasma surface modification applied to fiber is a way to add value to a nonwoven fabric and enhance the functional performance of the final product. This chapter provides an overview of the plasma treatments of nonwovens that enhance their surface-related properties.

“…Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is nowadays one of the materials most researched as an efficient photocatalyst for the photodegradation of pollutants in waste water owing to its high oxidizing power, non-toxicity and long-term photostability [1]. However, the practical application of TiO 2 is severely limited by its band gap of 3.2 eV in crystalline anatase phase, which facilitates response to only ultraviolet light accounting for less than 5% of the solar spectrum.…”

Abstract. Using as target a CpTi disk in an atmosphere of argon/oxygen and by rf plasma. First titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) films were obtained on silicon substrates, and subsequently, these films were doped with nitrogen (N-TiO 2 ). In both processes, along four hours at 390°C of temperature. XRay diffraction and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of the nanostructured anatase phase. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyzes indicate that the nitrogen atoms were incorporated into the TiO 2 film with ~33.9 at%. The films reach a thickness of 1.25 ȝm and 40 nm the average uniformity determined by using an atomic force microscope. Finally, UVVis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy outcome evaluated ones an energy band gap reduction from 3.17 eV to 2.95 eV corresponding to TiO 2 films and N-TiO 2 films respectively.
