What is it about?
Cotton weather in the form of fiber or fabric, a natural cellulose material, is widely used in the textile industry for its excellent properties. However, its application in some fields is seriously restricted because of its poor ant pilling behavior, antibacterial and UV-protection, comfortably, tensile properties, softness properties, water repellence and wrinkle recovery, hydrophobic property, wicking properties and dye ability of cotton fabrics and to use it as nano particle. That is why the surface and chemical modification carried out through different methodology with chemicals used were of analytical reagent grade to achieve such important property of the cotton materials like superhydrophobic, good surface property of cotton when it treats with weather plasma, nanoparticles coating, composite film and chemical treatments (3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane,bifunctional polysiloxanes, silane coupling agents vinyltriethoxysilane and aminopropyltriethoxysilane, chloropyrimidine compounds. All modification enhances the application of cotton material in different sectors.

Why is it important?
Modification of Cotton Fabrics Using Plasma Technology is necessary for different application were hydrophobic surface needed. • Modification of cotton fibers with magnetite and magnetic core-shell mesoporous silica nanoparticles are needed to use were high affinity of dye necessary in industrial or other functional application. • It is useful to modify cotton fibers with sericin, and use them for medical textiles applications. • Textile Performance of Functionalized Cotton Fiber with 3-Glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane maximum to improve physicochemical properties such as tensile properties, moisture absorption, which suggests the possibility to apply this method in the production of garment products, textiles, etc
Perspectives
Functional finishing of cotton fabrics using zinc oxide–soluble starch Nano-composites with Vigneshwaran N, et al. [8] were reported UV-protection and the antibacterial property is improved because of ZnO nanoparticles embedded in polymer matrices and when cotton fabrics were modified with chloropyrimidine compounds by Dong X, et al. [9] anti-pilling performance is improved by two or more grades before and after washing with optimized factors and modified cotton fabrics exhibited good handle, whiteness, heat release behavior, and dyeing properties without significant damage to the physical and mechanical properties Other modification like gamma-ray treatment of cotton fabric for textile dyeing with Zahid M, et al. [10] was showing an improvement of the color strength and the shade of Reactive Violet H3RF and has the potential to be studied at the industrial scale. Gamma irradiation has also shown comparable colorfastness properties (to that of mercerization) of the dyed cotton fabrics.
