Nanofinishing of Textile Materials

Nanofinishing of Textile Materials provides thorough coverage of existing, current and future developments in the field. Sections cover a wide range of nanofinishing mechanisms for improving the fundamental properties of textiles, such as bleaching, scouring, softening and surface activation. Other sections discuss high-performance properties and conventional attributes, such as waterproofing, fire-retardancy and novel applications, including conductivity and magnetism. With two highly regarded and experienced authors bringing together the latest information on nanofinishing technology, this book is essential reading for scientific researchers, engineers and R&D professionals working on the development of finishes for improving the properties of textiles.

• Explains nanofinishing mechanisms and processes with a view to their use in developing high-performance apparel and technical textiles
• Focuses on how nanofinishing can be used to confer important characteristics, such as self-cleaning, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, magnetic and conductive attributes
• Explores novel techniques and methods for readers who require cutting-edge knowledge of developments in nanofinishing

He obtained BS and MS degrees in Textile Chemistry and Fiber Science from the Textile Engineering Department of Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, and received his PhD degree, in 1996, from the Textile Institute at Leeds University, England. He has coauthored over 200 scientific articles during the last 15 years. He received the title of one of the best nano researchers of years 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 from the nano organization of Iran, and the best researcher of the year, in 2010, from Amirkabir University of Technology. He also received a Scopous award in 2014, as an Iranian young scientist, for meritorious contributions in the field of material science. He is collaborating with German part to engage in scientific exchange and cooperation on topics of common interest. He has been awarded for participation in a challenge proposed by Inocrowd (Innovation-based R&D management systems), Portugal. He is currently working on the in situ synthesis of nano particles and nanocomposites on textiles in order to obtain multi-functional properties. He is also interested in medical, industrial, protective and sport textiles and also natural products.
