Nanofibre Web Coatings Based on Nano-Spider (NS) Technology

This chapter covers various aspects of nanofibre web coatings: fundamental theories, principles and operational process of Nanospider (NS) technology, experimental results, characterization methods and commercial applications. The concept of integration of nanofibre webs in defence protective textiles (DPTs), and research at the Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), DRDO, Kanpur, on nanofibre coated web technology are highlighted. This research has revealed that NS technology is promising for the development of lighter weight functional fabrics with enhanced comfort, particularly for military clothing and equipment.
