Abstract
Over the past few decades, there is an emergence of new multidisciplinary approaches to functionalize different textile materials. Nanotechnology is increasingly attracting scientific attention to develop multifunctional textiles for various end uses among all technologies. Nanoparticles play vital role in coloration and, in view of their large surface area-to-volume ratio and high surface energy, have imparted novel properties such as microbial resistance, flame retardancy, and self-cleaning property to different textile surfaces. This book chapter emphasizes on recent functional treatments of both natural and synthetic textile materials using nanotechnology. Applications of the sustainable nanotextiles in many of the sectors such as medicine and protective clothing are also critically discussed.
