Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Novel smart textiles have numerous applications in fashion, sports and fitness, medical, military, automotive, aerospace, built environment, and energy industries. The research and development of these materials’ design pushes the possibilities of textiles, crossing scientific boundaries and redefining material science design and engineering. Health and safety are also key drivers of innovative fabric structures, prompting new designs for existing products and devices, or even entire products.
However, textile manufacturing generates significant waste, including water-based effluents and air emissions, solids, and hazardous wastes. Thus, emerging technologies in this field focus on more sustainable strategies, including the minimum use of resources such as water and energy, decreasing chemical consumption, and reducing or eliminating pollution and harmful and toxic chemicals.
This Special Issue will cover various aspects of novel textile materials, including their design and eco-friendly processing technology that works towards enhancing our quality of life and environment.
