In recent years, argon plasma treatment has emerged as a promising technique for enhancing the surface properties of materials, especially textiles, through the use of low-pressure glow discharge plasma. This method offers advantages in terms of performance and sustainability, making it a focus of interdisciplinary research in fields such as physics, chemistry, environmental science, resource management, and sustainable development. Physics plays a critical role in elucidating the intricate mechanisms of plasma treatment, including ion bombardment and chemical reactions, while chemistry is essential for introducing functional groups onto fabric surfaces, improving adhesion and dyeability. Environmental science underscores the importance of sustainable practices in textile processing, with argon plasma treatment offering a cleaner alternative that requires minimal water and chemicals. Resource management and water conservation are key priorities, and argon plasma treatment contributes to more efficient resource utilization and reduced water consumption. It also helps mitigate pollution hazards associated with traditional textile wet processing by minimizing chemical usage and environmental impact. Energy conservation is another significant benefit, as argon plasma treatment requires less energy compared to conventional methods, leading to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and aligning with sustainable development principles. Overall, argon plasma treatment represents a versatile and sustainable approach to surface modification in the textile industry, with potential for further advancements through multidisciplinary research and innovation.
