Synopsis

The textile industry is increasingly based on ongoing innovation and development of higher performance products. This book explores the opportunities available to produce textiles with different functions that improve the performance, protection and medical aspects of the product. Part one reviews different types of functional textiles that can improve performance and protection to the wearer. Chapters include themes such as anti-ultraviolet protection of clothing and flame retardant textiles. Part two addresses functions and new materials that provide or address human health benefits and concerns. These topics range from superhydrophobic materials, textile chemicals and their interaction with skin and novel pesticide protective clothing.

Key Features: examines the use of functional textiles in a medical context, including superhydrophobic materials, antibacterial textiles and insect-repellent materials; topics range from textile chemicals and their interaction with skin to novel pesticide protective clothing; considers anti-ultraviolet protection of clothing and flame retardant textiles.

Contents: Part 1 Functional textiles and clothing for improved performance and protection: Improved textile functionality through surface modifications; Antistatic and conductive textiles; Ultraviolet protection of clothing; 3D body imaging and fit for functional textiles; Flame retardant functional textiles; Functional shape memory textiles; Thermo-regulating textiles with phase change materials; Infrared functional textiles; Functional smart textiles using stimuli-sensitive polymers; Development and design of performance swimwear; Key elements of protection for military textiles; Developments in clothing protection technology. Part 2 Functional textiles for improved medical and health purposes: New developments in functional medical textiles and their mechanism of action; Improving superhydrophobic coatings for textiles through chemical modifications; Improving superhydrophobic textile materials; Antibacterial textile materials for medical applications; Antibacterial colorants for textiles; Pyrethroid-laden textiles for protection from biting insects; Improving the functionality of clothing through novel pesticide protection; Biomechanics in skin-clothing interactions; Transdermal permeation of textile dyes and chemicals.
