Functional Nanotextiles

Functional Nanotextiles: Processing, Properties, and Applications covers fundamental scientific principles, fabrication processing techniques, unique physical properties, and targeted applications of nanostructured fabrics. Released as part of The Textile Institute Book Series, this 700-page volume examines how nanoscale additions alter traditional fiber behavior for high-demand technical deployment across multiple industries.

The text details systematic techniques to incorporate nanomaterials into fabric structures, increasing mechanical performance and long-term durability. It evaluates specialized functional capabilities, focusing on moisture-wicking mechanics, hydrophobic and hydrophilic surface modifications, thermal management, and antimicrobial attributes across synthetic and natural textile substrates.

This publication targets academic researchers, industry leaders, and commercial stakeholders across textiles and wearable technologies. By connecting fundamental material synthesis concepts with physical characterization, the work supports laboratory experimentation, engineering design, and structural specification for specialists developing advanced technical garments and functional material systems.
