Abstract
The increasing use of technical textiles with synthetic fibres, as well as the market and society demand for textiles that have been processed by environmentally sound methods, new innovative production techniques are demanded. In this field, the plasma technology shows distinct advantages because it is environmentally friendly, and even surface properties of inert materials can be changed easily.
Plasma technology can be used not only for textile finishing, but also for the optimization of textile machines, for example, with hard coatings.
