Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coated fabrics and textiles play a vital role in everyday life, offering unique styles, appearances, and special functions, such as flame retardant, antibacterial, hydrophobic, oleophobic, conductive, and thermally stable, etc., after being treated with coating agents. These coatings significantly increase the value of the final product. The market has seen a rise in functional coated fabrics and textiles in recent years, expanding their uses and output annually. Textile coating technology is becoming increasingly mature, main coating agents are constantly improving, and advanced processing equipment is becoming more intelligent. Textile coatings have good development prospects.
This special issue invites original research articles and reviews on the design, manufacture, characterization, and application of coated fabrics and textiles. Areas of study may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Fire-retardant textile and implementation of fire-retardant formulations;
- Stain-resistant, self-cleaning coated textiles and fabrics;
- Antimicrobial coated textiles and fabrics;
- Conductive coated textiles and fabrics and their electrochemical applications;
- Radiation-resistant, wearable e-textiles;
- Hydrophobic and hydrophilic fabrics;
- Coated textiles and fabrics in medical applications;
- Test methods for different textile coatings.
We look forward to your contributions in these research areas.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Dr. Nor Dalila Nor Affandi from Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia, for her time and effort in contributing to this Special Issue.
