The present study is aiming to using atmospheric glow discharge plasma as a new clean and environmental friendly technology to modifying the surfaces of natural and synthetic fabrics instead of the traditional wet treatments -in order that they acquire new properties and improved printability with different dyes and achieve these points: - Creation of a novel surface with an improvement in the physical properties of both natural and synthetic fabrics such as whiteness, wettability, tensile strength and ..........etc. - Improvement in the appearance and printing properties of natural and synthetic fabrics such as color strength, handle and fastness properties. - Modifying textile surfaces, etching and deposition reaction to obtain nano-particale or nano-porous structures. The investigation falls into the following three main chapters.
