Polymer/Nanocarbon Nanocomposite-Based Eco-friendly Textiles

Abstract

Eco-friendly materials are the subject of recent research interest in various academia and industry fields. Eco-materials or eco-friendly materials are also termed as the green materials. These are environment-friendly materials, usually obtained from renewable resources. Exploitation of the eco-materials has been tremendously increased for the production of eco-textiles. Use of the eco-friendly polymers has become widespread owing to growing interest in biodegradability, sustainability, recyclability, and environmental concerns. Polymeric eco-materials have various potential uses in textile industry. In addition to the eco-friendly polymers, the nanocomposite materials based on eco-polymers and nanofillers have been prepared. Recently, the polymer-based nanocomposite materials have also been focused for eco-textiles. This chapter deals with various essential aspects of the eco-friendly textile-related nanomaterials. The nanocarbon and
