Textile Engineering : An Introduction

As the textile industry is growing, many new textile intuitions are being established to provide quality textile education. This introductory-level textbook is geared towards them. This book will provide all necessary information from fibers to fabrics, dyeing/printing, and their conversion to clothing. This new update edition includes a study of environmental issues, sustainability and life-cycle analysis. This book presents the complete guide for readers to understand the applications, and pros and cons of nanotechnology applications in environmental remediation, although there are few critical reviews and textbooks available on environmental biotechnology. Water pollution has become one of the biggest concerns of the world. After the industrialisation and urbanisation, environmental pollution has become an enormous concern. Water pollution results in biomagnifications by entering the food chain. As a result water pollution and its risks need to be considered seriously and solutions need to be researched. This volume looks into such topics as bioremediation, nanobiotechnology, biosensors, and enzyme degradation to find solutions to these problems. With the growth of applications of textiles in various multidisciplinary domains e.g., clothing, home textiles, and technical applications, there is a need of book covering fundamentals of textiles. This introductory-level textbook is geared toward the introduction of textile engineering. This book is beneficial for all readers who are going to start their career in textiles or related domains or are going to start an engineering degree in textiles.
