Preface
Understanding nanostructured polymer blends and composites in textiles and their properties and behavior is fundamental to modern textile design, engineering, and materials science. Written for professionals and students of chemical science and textile engineering and materials science and design, this book describes the procedures for nanomaterial selection and design in order to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given textile application are identified from the full range of materials, chemicals, and section shapes available.
Several case studies have been developed to further illustrate procedures and to add to the practical implementation of the text.
This new volume reviews recent academic and technological developments behind new-engineered modified nano-textile materials. The book is intended for researchers and those interested in future developments in mechanical and physico-chemical characteristics of modified nano-textile materials and polymer blends. Several innovative applications for different materials are described in considerable detail with emphasis on the experimental data that supports these new applications. From nano-fibers to chemical materials, creative modifications concerning new nano-composites are described that could one day become commonplace. In this book the world’s leading experts describe their most recent research in their areas of expertise. The book will also be a useful tool for students and researchers, providing helpful insights into new evolving research areas in nanostructured polymer blends and composites in textiles. This new book covers a broad range of polymeric materials and textiles and provides industry professionals and researchers in polymer science and technology with important information involved in the functional materials production chain.
This volume presents the latest developments and trends in advanced polymer and textile materials and structures. It discusses the developments of advanced polymers and respective tools to characterize and predict the material properties and behavior.
This book has an important role in advancing polymer materials and textiles in nanoscale. Its aim is to provide original, theoretical, and important experimental results that use non-routine methodologies. It also includes chapters on novel applications of more familiar experimental techniques and analyzes of composite problems that indicate the need for new experimental approaches.
