They are finding real and fast-growing applications in wide-ranging fields such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, packaging, and sports. This book focuses on the development of polymer nanocomposites as an advanced material for textile applications, such as fibers, coatings, and nanofibers. It compiles and details cutting-edge research in the science and nanotechnology of textiles with special reference to polymer nanocomposites in the form of invited chapters from scientists and subject experts from various institutes from all over the world. They include authors who are actively involved in the research and development of polymer nanocomposites with a wide range of functionsincluding antimicrobial, flame-retardant, gas barrier, shape memory, sensor, and energy-scavengingas well as medical applications, such as tissue engineering and wound dressings, to create a new range of smart and intelligent textiles. Edited by Mangala Joshi, a prominent nanotechnology researcher at the premier Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India, this book will appeal to anyone involved in nanotechnology, nanocomposites, advanced materials, polymers, fibers and textiles, and technical textiles. About the Author Mangala Joshi is a professor at the Department of Textile Technology of the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT Delhi). She obtained a masters in chemistry in 1984 and a PhD in polymer science and technology in 1992 from IIT Delhi. She won the National Award for Innovation in the field of polymer science and technology for 201213 instituted by the Department of Petrochemicals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India. Prof. Joshi is the author of more than 90 research articles published in several refereed journals and has received 2 patents.
