Advances in Functional and Protective Textiles

Shahid Ul Islam is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Sciences and Humanities at Jamia Millia Islamia (Central University), New Delhi, India. Prior to joining Jamia, he was a Fulbright Scientist at the University of California Davis, United States. He works at the interface of materials science and textile engineering, with an emphasis on the functionalization of textile and polymeric materials for use in different applications. B. S. Butola is a Professor at the Department of Textiles & Fibre Engineering, IIT Delhi, India. His research interests include functionalization of textiles with metal oxides, use of shear thickening fluids for improving the impact performance of ballistic textiles, polymeric nanocomposites and smart colorants. He has edited 7 books.
