Smart Nanotextiles Wearable and Technical Applications This
groundbreaking book comprehensively reviews the utilization of
smart nanotextiles in various application areas by referring to
requirements specific to various application fields, sharing the
findings of some of the latest research efforts and state-of-art
smart nanotextiles technologies, as well as providing insights
relating to challenges and opportunities facing current and future
smart nanotextiles. This book covers the emerging and exciting
field of nanotextiles and their many applications. Smart
nanotextiles form a novel group of materials that are utilized/can
be utilized in an array of application areas, such as biomedicine
(health monitoring, controlled drug release; wound care, and
regenerative medicine), communication, sports, fashion, energy
harvesting, protection, filtration, civil and geotechnical
engineering, transportation, and so on, including wearable and
technical fields. Whereas textiles provide a convenient platform
for smart functionality, nanotechnology assures that the favorable
characteristics of the textile structure are not impaired by the
smart functioning components. Furthermore, based on the superior
characteristics of nanostructured components in comparison to
macromaterials and micromaterials, nanomaterials provide augmented
smart functionality. However, despite the immense research efforts
that have been devoted to smart nanotextiles, most of them have not
yet transcended the commercialization stage due to high cost,
difficulty in large-scale production, low reliability, and
potential detrimental effects of nanomaterials on human health and
the environment. The 12 chapters comprising this book are all
written by subject-matter experts from around the world and discuss
the next-generation products along with their challenges and
opportunities. Audience Researchers, technologists, industrial
engineers, and postgraduate students in the fields of textiles,
intelligent materials, electronics, sensors, actuators,
biomedicine, fashion, filtration, transportation, civil
engineering, environmental engineering, communication, sports
performance, and materials science, who have an interest in smart
materials, nanotechnology and wearables.
