Abstract

The textile industry is constantly evolving both in quality and customization of textiles to be able use as needed which increasing the value to textiles. The textiles modifiers can be used as individual substances or blended into compounds. Chemical finishing of textiles can improve functional groups that make it comfortable to wear as well as improving the appearance of the textile properties suitable for use. Textile finishing can be done by padding, coating, or spraying. Nowadays, nanotechnology has improved the properties of textiles called self-cleaning by using a plasma technique for depositing polymeric films from gas phase onto textiles, Sol-gel textile refinement process and admicellar polymerization. In this article, we will focus on finishing textiles for hydrophobic and oil repellent properties.
