Textile Surface Engineering: Techniques, Applications, and Future Directions highlights the wide range of approaches available for modifying textile surfaces while also considering textile surface modification strategies for a variety of textile applications and discussing the actual practical benefits arising from these strategies. The book concludes with outline discussions of emerging trends and potential future developments in the field of surface modified textiles. Readers will find this to be an updated critique of the practical benefits of textile surface modifications and the improvements that they can bestow on textile products.

Textiles possess an enormous range of diverse applications. The diversity of these applications requires an astonishing range of textile properties, and it is widely recognized that the structure and geometry of textile fibers and the types of fabric constructed from them are key factors. Important additional factors, however, are the nature of the fiber surface and the nature of the surface of the constructed fabric. These surfaces can often be modified to provide much improved performance in the application for which the fabric is intended.

Provides a comprehensive overview of various textile surface treatments and finishes
Includes an in-depth analysis of the practical benefits these treatments offer
Explores future approaches for textile surface modifications

Robert Mather became involved with textiles when he joined the staff at The Scottish College of Textiles (SCOT) in Galashiels in 1983 (SCOT was subsequently subsumed into Heriot-Watt University, based in Edinburgh). There he acquired an interest in technical textiles. He has established profiles in the processing of polypropylene fibres, the gas plasma treatments of textiles and the integration of photovoltaic (solar) cells on textiles.He is the author of more than 90 technical papers and over the past 20 years has contributed chapters to ten edited books on textiles. He co-authored a book on textile chemistry for the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2011. Second and third editions were published in 2015 and 2024, respectively. He has also co-authored a book on photovoltaic textiles, published in 2023.His professional memberships include Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, CChem, and Fellow of the Textile Institute, CTex.
