Book Description
Written by a panel of experts drawn from industry and academia, this book reviews the impact of nanotechnology on the development of a new generation of textile fibers with enhanced functionality and a wide range of applications. It explores nanofiber production, discussing how different fiber types can be produced using electrospinning techniques. The book analyzes the production and properties of carbon nanotubes and polymer nanocomposites and their applications in such areas as aerospace engineering and covers ways of using nanotechnology to improve polymer properties such as thermal stability and dyeability and the use of nanotechnology to modify textile surfaces.
Philip Brown
Phil Brown, a professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Clemson University, joined the faculty in January 2002. He earned a BSc in 1987 and received a Ph.D. from The School of Textile Industries in Leeds in 1991.
After a few years of research work, including 1.5 years at Herriot Watt University as a teaching/research fellow, he went back to Leeds as a lecturer in the School of Textile Industries at Leeds University. Phil’s current research interests include, but are not limited to, fiber spinning and the production of deep groove capillary surface channeled fibers, fabrication of polymeric photonic crystal fibers, the production, and properties of hollow fiber membranes including examination of phase inversion conditions, the dry jet wet and wet spinning of fibers, electrospinning of fibers and nanofibers. Additional interests are in the broader areas of dyeing and finishing, including self-cleaning fabrics and fibers, the crosslinking of synthetic fibers and the application of UV laser radiation to textile substrates.
