One Line DescriptionThis novel book deals with smart materials and state-of-the-art technologies that can be utilized for value-addition, advancement, and functionalization of textile materials.
Audience
Researchers, engineers in the textile industry, textile chemistry and dyeing, chemical engineering, environmental science, and materials science as well as graduate and postgraduate students, will find this book invaluable.
DescriptionAdvancing conventional techniques with green and sustainable products that replace the harmful compounds in textile processing and the quest for advanced materials for functionalization of textiles are currently very much underway. The book
Frontiers of Textile Materials: Polymers, Nanomaterials, Enzymes, and Advanced Modification Techniques cover various research areas dealing with modification of textile materials, manufacturing and finishing.
The first few chapters explore polymers and polymer coatings, enzymes and nanomaterials for the textile industry, fabrication and characterization, as well as application of textiles and functionalities achieved on them. Two of the chapters focus on flexible electronics dealing with the incorporation of nanogenerators and solar cells into the matrix of textiles to design wearables. Further chapters discuss advanced dyeing and dyeing materials (biomordants, plasma and irradiation technologies) for sustainable and eco-friendly coloration.
