Advanced materials are undoubtedly becoming very popular as substitutes for traditional materials in textile engineering field. Advanced textile engineering materials are giving way to innovative textile materials with novel functions and are widely perceived as offering huge potential in a wide range of applications such as healthcare, defense, personal protective equipment, personal communication, textile antennas, garments for motion capture, and sensors. This book contains 13 chapters that cover fundamental and advanced approaches associated with the design and development of textile implants, conductive textiles, 3D textiles, smart-stimuli textiles, antiballistic textiles and fabric structures designed for a medical application intrabody/extra-body, implantable/non-implantable) and various modification and processing techniques. Global research & development and also some funding agencies, such as the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), are also providing substantial funding for research in this area. The book is intended to be of interest and useful to a wide group of people: researchers, post and undergraduates in the field of textile engineering, functional finishing, chemical processing and material sciences.
We thank Mr. Martin Scrivener who did a great deal of work to bring this book to completion. Finally, we wish to acknowledge our sincere appreciation to the authors who have written in-depth and informative chapters that collectively has made this book a reality.
