What is Shape Memory Polymers and Textiles (Woodhead Publishing Series in Textiles) about?

Annotation Shape memory polymers are a huge innovation which could transform the future of the textile and garment industry. Imagine never having to iron again as the polymers on/in your clothes remember their original shape meaning that creases disappear and clothes return to their original sleek state after heat treatment like washing or treating with steam. As well as being developed into shape memory fabrics, the tailor-made shape memory polymers can also be used for textile finishing, fibre and film making. These offer great opportunities for smart products and have a significant impact on textile, clothing and other industries. This innovative new book will cover the synthesis and characterisation of polymers, textile processing, textile evaluation, the shape memory effect and modelling. It provides a full account of the up to date research findings as well as a review of state of the art application research.
