This book reviews the impact of nanotechnology on the development of a new generation of
textile fibers with enhanced functionality and a wide range of applications. It explores nanofiber
production, explaining how different fiber types can be produced using electrospinning techniques. The
book analyzes the production and properties of carbon nanotubes and polymer nanocomposites and
their applications in such areas as aerospace engineering. It also discusses how nanotechnology can
be employed to improve polymer properties such as thermal stability and dyeability, as well as the use
of nanotechnology in the surface modification of textiles.
Target Audience: Materials scientists and researchers concerned with applications of
nanotechnology in textile applications.
