“…7 shows the evolution of the temperature of RGO-PU/PET fabrics depending on the applied potential. Molina et al published different works [43][44][45] in which PES fabrics were coated with RGO and they performed a complete electrochemical characterization of these materials with not traditionally employed techniques for the characterization of these materials such as: cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy or scanning electrochemical microscopy. The RGO coatings demonstrated to be electroactive and were homogeneously distributed on the surface of the fabrics.…”

“…BSA, which is a pH sensitive protein, has been widely employed for this objective [37,40,45,49,57,58,62]. Below pH 4.9 it has positive charge and above pH 4.9 negative charge.…”

“…The positive charges created on the fabric helped in the adsorption process of GO (which has negative charges) and created electrostatic forces that allowed the selfassembly of GO on the fabrics. Molina et al [45] applied plasma treatment to generate negative charges on the surface of PES, these negative charges increased the BSA fixation that charged positively the surface of the fabrics, and allowed the self assembly of GO sheets. In addition, the high roughness produced by the plasma treatment also helped in the fixation process of GO sheets.…”

Graphene has emerged as a revolutionary material in different fields of science and engineering due to its extraordinary properties such as: high electron mobility, high thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, easy functionalization, etc. The field of textiles is continuously integrating new materials to provide fabrics with new functionalities, hence its incorporation on fabrics was a logical step. Its application to the field of textiles has been recently reported, which has allowed the development of textiles with different functionalities such as: antistatic, UV-protecting, electroconductive, photocatalytic, antibacterial, energy storage in supercapacitors, electrodes for batteries, thermal conductivity, sensors, etc. Up to date no review has been written regarding graphene-based fabrics and their applications. The present review aims to fill the existing gap and provide perspectives into the preparation and applications of graphene-based fabrics and yarns.

“…Moreover, after plasma treatment the value of the water contact angle decreased. Molina et al [12] also mentioned that the increase of energy is due to polar group formation on the surface and plasma activation with a higher dosage did increase the functional groups but not the surface roughness. Plasma treatment removes surface contamination which can help with surface unification.…”

“…Investigations of plasma treatment of polystyrene were carried out by Molina et al [12] using polyester which is usually applied in textile glossary and treated with atmospheric plasma of the power of 1000 W along with different dosages, such as 500 to 7500 W min m −2 . There was a textile polyester material used (woven material) with wettability described by the Cassie-Baxter model [13] and due to that the values of water contact angles in the model were higher than those measured in this paper.…”

Surface plasma treatment consists in changes of surface properties without changing internal properties. In this paper composite polymer/paper material is used for production of packaging in cosmetic industry. There are problems with bonding this material at the time of packaging production due to its properties. Composite surface was treated by air plasma for 1, 10, 20, and 30 s. The advancing and receding contact angles of water, formamide, and diiodomethane were measured using both treated and untreated samples. Apparent surface free energy was estimated using the hysteresis (CAH) and Van Oss, Good, Chaudhury approaches (LWAB). Surface roughness was investigated using optical profilometry and identification of after plasma treatment emerging chemical groups was made by means of the XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) technique. After plasma treatment the values of contact angles decreased which is particularly evident for polar liquids. Apparent surface free energy increased compared to that of untreated samples. Changes of energy value are due to the electron-donor parameter of energy. This parameter increases as a result of adding polar groups at the time of surface plasma activation. Changes of surface properties are combination of increase of polar chemical functional groups, increase on the surface, and surface roughness increase.

Personal protective clothing is intended to protect the wearer from various hazards (mechanical, biological, chemical, thermal, radiological, etc.) and inhospitable environmental conditions that may cause harm or even death. There are various types of personal protective clothing, manufactured with different materials based on hazards and end user requirements. Conventional protective clothing has impediments such as high weight, bulky nature, lack of mobility, heat stress, low heat dissipation, high physical stress, diminishing dexterity, diminishing scope of vision, lack of breathability, and reduced protection against pathogens and hazards. By virtue of the superlative properties of graphene, fabrics modified with this material can be an effective means to overcome these limitations and to improve properties such as mechanical strength, antibacterial activity, flame resistance, conductivity, and UV resistance. The limitations of conventional personal protective equipment are discussed, followed by necessary measures which might be taken to improve personal protective equipment (PPE), the unique properties of graphene, methods of graphene incorporation in fabrics, and the current research status and potential of graphene‐modified performance textiles relevant to PPE.
