Particle Technology and Textiles: Review of Applications

Functionalization Of Material Systems Is One Of The Key Developments Nowadays In The Textile Industry, Where Particles Are Frequently Used To Enhance The Properties Of Fibers And To Add New Functionalities. This Book Focuses On Innovative Textile Materials And Is A Perfect Guide For Professionals In The Textile Industry And Scientists Alike. An Overview Of Particle Technology Is Provided Before Addressing All Topics Relevant To Particle-enhanced Textiles, I.e. The Properties And Application Of Micro/nanoparticles In Textiles, Production Techniques, Safety, As Well As Regulatory And Intellectual Property Aspects. The Book Covers The Composition And Applications Of Various Types Of Textile Fillers, Finishings, And Microfibers. Gives An Outlook On Future Trends And Challenges In The Research, Development, And Production Of Nano- And Micro-enabled Textiles. The Authors Of The Book, Who Are Leading Experts In Their Fields, Address Many Aspects Relevant To The Use Of Particle-enhanced Textiles In Industrial Applications As Well As In Our Daily Life. A Particular Emphasis Is Put On Practical Examples Of Applications And Products, Safety And Sustainability Issues And The Potential For Further Innovation. This Book Should Bring Inspiration For Textile Scientists In Using Particles For Improving Textiles And Further Expanding Their Possibilities Of Use.
