Smart textiles are materials and structures that sense and react to
environmental conditions or stimuli, and their integration into
protective clothing has led to the development of products with
greatly enhanced protective capabilities in hazardous situations.
Smart textiles for protection provides a comprehensive analysis of
smart materials used in producing protective textiles, and explores
a wide range of end-use protective applications.
Part one reviews smart materials and technologies. Beginning with
an overview of smart textiles for protection, this section goes on
to discuss types of materials, surface treatments and the use of
nanofibres and smart barrier membranes. The application of sensors,
actuators and computer systems in smart protective textiles is
explored, followed by a review of biomimetic approaches to design.
Part two investigates specific applications of smart textiles for
protection. Smart technology for personal protective equipment and
clothing, smart protective textiles for older people and smart
high-performance textiles for protection in construction and
geotechnical applications are all discussed in depth, as is the use
of smart textiles in the protection of armoured vehicles and in
protective clothing for fire fighters and first responders. The
final chapter describes recent advances in chemical and biological
protective clothing.
With its distinguished editor and international team of expert
contributors, Smart textiles for protection is an essential guide
for all those involved in the design, development and application
of protective smart textiles.
