Textiles have been historically and traditionally used to make clothes, but even in ancient times there were technical textiles for making sails, tents, etc. Today technical textiles are used in various industries for a legion of purposes and applications. Recently, there have been exciting developments on various fronts in the textile field to impart novel and innovative functionalities to textiles, e.g., easy-to-clean or dirt-repellent, flame retardancy, anti-bacterial, and fog-harvesting properties, to name just a few. Also textiles for sensor function, textile-fixed catalysts, textiles for batteries and energy storage, textiles as substrates for tissue engineering, and textiles for O/W separation have appeared in the literature. All this has been possible through adopting novel ways for finishing textiles, e.g., by appropriate surface modification techniques, and utilizing biomimetic concepts borrowed from Nature. Nature is a great teacher and we can learn a lot from the creativity of Nature as Nature does not waste time in frivolous activities.

It should be emphasized that by suitable surface modification of any material (including textiles) one can attain the requisite surface characteristics (e.g., adhesion, wetting, superhydrophilicity, superhydrophobicity, omniphobicity, anti-fouling, biocompatibility, to mention just a few) without tampering with the desirable bulk attributes of materials, as a material is surface modified to a depth of about 10nm only. This avenue provides the best of both worlds. Concomitantly, in the last years there has been a flurry of research activity in ameliorating the existing approaches as well as in devising novel, innovative and more efficient ways for surface modification of polymers, including textiles.

Now coming to this book entitled Textile Finishing: Recent Developments and Future Trends it is divided into four parts: Part 1: Recent Developments and Current Challenges in Textile Finishing; Part 2: Surface Modification Techniques for Textiles; Part 3: Innovative Functionalities of Textiles; and Part 4: Fiber-Reinforced Composites. The topics covered include: Antimicrobial textile finishes; flame retardant textile finishing; self-cleaning or easy-to-clean textiles; metallization of textiles; wettability characterization in textiles; surface functionalization of textiles by atmospheric pressure plasma (APP); UV-based photochemical surface modification of textiles; tunable wettability of textiles; 3D textile structures for fog harvesting; textile-fixed catalysts and their use in heterogeneous catalysis; medical textiles as substrates for tissue engineering; and fiber-reinforced green or greener biocomposites and relevance of fiber/matrix adhesion.

This book represents the cumulative wisdom and contribution of many internationally renowned experts actively engaged in various ramifications of textile finishing. Also this unique book containing a wealth of information provides an easily accessible, unified and comprehensive source as well as commentary on the current state-of-the-art in the arena of textile finishing. Apropos, these days the mantras are: nano and green, and wherever applicable and feasible, these two catchwords have been accorded due consideration.
