Biotechnology has impacted the textiles industry through the
development of more efficient and environmentally friendly
manufacturing processes, as well as enabling the design of improved
textile materials. This book will provide a thorough overview of
current and future focuses of biotechnology in the fibre and
textile industry. Part one of the book opens with a review of
technologies involved in textile biotechnology. Chapters explore
the design and engineering of novel enzymes for textile
applications and developments in processes and equipment for
enzymatic textile treatments. Part two investigates the
modification of particular fibres through the use of biotechnology.
Key topics include the treatment of wool and silk fibres and the
enzymatic treatment versus conventional processing of cotton. With
expert contributions from leaders in their fields, Advances in
textile biotechnology is a comprehensive guide for those in the
textile and fibre industry, as well as experts in the biology,
chemical and environmental engineering industries.
