The topics covered in this book include the materials like enzymes, polymers, etc. that are utilized for conventional textile processing and the advanced materials like nanoparticles which are expected to change the horizons of textiles. The futuristic techniques for textile processing like plasma are also discussed. The text reviews advances in smart textiles, e.g. flexible electronics such as nanogenerators and solar cells into textiles matrix to design wearables. Also, it examines materials for textile, from manufacturing to finishing. Focuses on materials of natural origin and discusses alternatives of conventional finishing"-- UR - https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119620396 ER -
