Fundamentals of Nano–Textile Science

Fundamentals of Nano-Textile Science provides a detailed overview of advanced nano-textiles methods,  techniques, and treatments along with explanations of a wide range of  applications. This book places emphasis on nanotechnology-based textile  enhancements that provide high durability, better affinity, and more  functionality in textile material and that overcomes the limitation of  conventional processes in the textile industry.

The  first section of the book deals with the production method of  nano-textile fibers. It elaborates how nano-techniques are used for  producing textile fiber and discusses various pretreatment processes of  textile materials using such methods as nano-scouring,  nanobiophotoscouring, nano-bleaching, nano-softening, and nano-surface  activation.

The second section discusses the wide  range of nanofinishing applications to make textile materials  antimicrobial, flame retardant, UV-protected, etc. It also discusses  different techniques and treatments applied on the surface of the  finished product using plasma technology or layer-by-layer deposition  techniques. This section also covers nano-based textile applications  such as for sports clothing, military textiles, high-performance  clothing, or smart wearable high-tech nano-textiles.

In  the last section, the book concludes with an overview of  nanotechnological advancements being used for the management of textile  effluents and for removing dyes from wastewater in textile processing,  focusing on the health and safety perspective of nano-textiles.

The  book is written by highly experienced authors in this area and provides  an immensely valuable resource for scientific researchers, academics,  professionals, engineers, technologists and innovators working on  designing and manufacturing textile materials. The volume will be an  important resource for those who are looking for innovative production  technologies or the latest nanotechnology developments in the design and  manufacturing of nano-textile materials.
