Advances in Textile Biotechnology

Advances in Textile Biotechnology, Second Edition, examines the very latest in biotechnology for the fibre and textile industry, drawing on innovative research. This new edition has been fully revised to include the current essential areas of development in the field, covering both natural and synthetic fibres. Biotechnology continues to have a strong influence in the textiles industry, enabling the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, as well as supporting improved design of textile materials. This book begins by reviewing the latest technology in bioprocessing for bast fibre, PVA, polyester, wool and silk, before exploring the issues of enzyme stability. Essential areas of application and development are then considered, including biomedical textiles, silk materials for biotechnological applications, bacterial cellulose, and the inkjetting of enzymes. Key chapters on the role of enzymes, wool and silk fibres, bacterial cellulose and plant fibre qualities have been revised, while a number of new chapters have been introduced to cover newly developed areas of textile biotechnology, with emphasis placed on novel biosynthesis and bioprocessing techniques. Containing ground-breaking research, this book will be essential reading for manufacturers, designers and engineers in the textiles industry, textile and fibre scientists, and academic researchers and postgraduate students in the area of textile technology. Provides a thorough overview of current and future focuses of biotechnology in the fibre and textile industryPresents fully revised content, with a new focus on biosynthesis and bioprocessing for novel textile fibres, both synthetic and naturalEnables readers to understand and utilize the benefits of biotechnology for the manufacture and production of textiles INDICE: 1.
