Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer fibers and fabrics have been deeply integrated into every corner of modern life, serving as the "second skin" that supports people's livelihood and technological development, as well as a fundamental material. Polymer fibers, with their infinite designability, are continuously driving the textile industry from the traditional to the high-tech level. They quietly enhance the quality of life, safety standards, and sustainable development capabilities of society.
This Special Issue of the open-access journal Polymers focuses on a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge research and insightful reviews at the fascinating intersection of polymer science, fiber engineering, and textile technology on the topic of “Polymer Fibers in Textile Industry”. The contributions highlight the remarkable evolution of polymer fibers from traditional materials to advanced, high-performance constructs that are reshaping the future of the textile industry. Special emphasis will be placed on, but not limited to, the following:
- Design and synthesis of novel polymer fibers;
- Advanced textile manufacturing and processing techniques;
- Functional and smart textiles;
- High-performance protective fibers or textiles for military and medical use;
- Recycling technologies of fibers;
- Life-cycle assessment of textile products.
We look forward to receiving publications describing polymer fibers and textiles.
Dr. Lili Wang
Guest Editor
