In recent times, polymer nanocomposites have attracted a great deal
of scientific interest due to their unique advantages over
conventional plastic materials, such as superior strength, modulus,
thermal stability, thermal and electrical conductivity, and gas
barrier. They are finding real and fast-growing applications in
wide-ranging fields such as automotive, aerospace, electronics,
packaging, and sports. This book focuses on the development of
polymer nanocomposites as an advanced material for textile
applications, such as fibers, coatings, and nanofibers. It compiles
and details cutting-edge research in the science and nanotechnology
of textiles with special reference to polymer nanocomposites in the
form of invited chapters from scientists and subject experts from
various institutes from all over the world. They include authors
who are actively involved in the research and development of
polymer nanocomposites with a wide range of functions-including
antimicrobial, flame-retardant, gas barrier, shape memory, sensor,
and energy-scavenging-as well as medical applications, such as
tissue engineering and wound dressings, to create a new range of
smart and intelligent textiles. Edited by Mangala Joshi, a
prominent nanotechnology researcher at the premier Indian Institute
of Technology, Delhi, India, this book will appeal to anyone
involved in nanotechnology, nanocomposites, advanced materials,
polymers, fibers and textiles, and technical textiles.
