Textile research design

A certain degree of flexibility must be built into the research design, because the actual conditions of the textiles and the contaminants are not known, and could have been acquired over the course of the textile s lifetime. Time is required to adjust and improvise methods and to overcome difficulties while the researcher must retain a willingness to let the data take the lead. The pursuit of clues that were not anticipated or were initially only thought to be minor might be of the utmost importance these could lead to greater knowledge about the materials. 

The Textile Research Journal (40) is one of the most familiar publications for fundamental research in both man-made fibers and fabrics. The transactions of the Journal of the Textile Institute (36) usually carry articles on the physical chemistry of fibers, as well as more general material designed for the entire industry.

The objective of this book is to describe the developments in textile materials with specific reference to their use in sportswear. The contributors to this book represent a team of international experts at the cutting edge of textile research and clothing design relevant to sportswear. 

This chapter provides information about major enzymes used either in commercial textile processes or in current advanced research to improve the performance of textile materials. The use of enzymes in textiles has also been applied to textile surface design to achieve unique surface patterning. The environmental impact of the use of enzymes in the textile processing in comparison to conventional processing has been discussed. There is a bright future for enzyme-based biotechnology to be implemented in the textile industry and to make a contribution to textile sustainabihty.

The book is written based on my 30-year experience of working in various textile mills in India and abroad. This book includes my knowledge and experience on modem topics which I have highlighted in many textile conferences in India and abroad. This book would be very helpful to textile students, textile scientists, textile research scholars, and textile designers who are the thinkers and future of the Indian textile industry. In this book, I have also attended various burning problems in the textile industry.
