        abstract = {In recent years, the textile industry has changed a lot due to growing environmental concerns and the need for sustainable processing methods. Traditional textile finishing uses a large amount of water, energy, and chemicals, which causes environmental pollution. To overcome this, low-temperature plasma technology has become a promising alternative for modifying textile surfaces. Unlike conventional methods, plasma treatment is a dry and eco-friendly process that changes only the surface of the fibers without affecting their inner structure. This review explains the basic principles, working mechanisms, and applications of plasma technology in textiles. It discusses different types of plasma systems, such as atmospheric and vacuum plasma, and their role in improving dyeability, wettability, antibacterial properties, and adhesion of fabrics. It also compares plasma treatment with traditional methods to highlight its environmental and practical benefits, while addressing its limitations and future possibilities in sustainable and smart textile development.},
