Riassunto

In today's consumer-driven market, textiles are valued not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their functional protection properties. The use of nanoparticles for specialty finishing has emerged as a promising area in textile processing and engineering. Among these nanoparticles, inorganic metal and metal oxides are particularly significant due to their large surface area and high surface energy, allowing them to impart multifunctional properties to textiles. Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles in Textile Applications serves as a comprehensive guide, offering authors a profound understanding of the application of various metal and metal oxide nanoparticles on textiles. The content is thoughtfully organized, beginning with the first five chapters providing insights into the introduction of metal nanoparticles, their conventional and advanced synthesis methods, and characterization techniques. Subsequently, the following eight chapters delve into the effects of different metal nanoparticles, such as Ag, Au, Cu, Al, Ti, and others, along with their oxides, on textiles. The final section of the book encompasses chapters covering metal nanocomposites, electrospinning techniques, toxicology considerations, branding applications, and the challenges and future prospects of metal nanoparticles on textiles. This title serves as an invaluable asset to academicians, scholars, researchers, and professionals in the industry.
