For millennia, textiles have been an integral part of human civilization, evolving from basic clothing to advanced applications catering to modern societal needs. The intersection of textiles and medical science has given rise to biomedical textiles, which are defined as fibrous textile structures prepared from synthetic or natural materials that are used internally or externally in a biological...

Biography

Mohd Yusuf is the dean and an associate professor at Glocal University, Saharanpur, India. He earned his PhD in 2013 from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India, on nature-derived products. Dr Yusuf has contributed significantly to academia with over 70 publications encompassing research articles, reviews, books, and chapters in internationally renowned outlets. His research spans green materials, biomaterials, nanomaterials, wastewater treatment, and energy storage technologies.

Shumaila Kiran is an associate professor in the Department of Applied Chemistry at Government College University Faisalabad, Pakistan. She earned her PhD in 2012 and has more than 10 years of teaching and research experience at the university level. Dr Kiran has worked on various research projects and published about 90 research articles and 30 international book chapters. She has also supervised 7 PhD scholars and about 50 UG/PG students.

“This book explores a significant area of technical textiles, integrating textile engineering with its applications in medical science, particularly through the use of bio-resources. For example, cotton bio-mordanted with gall nut and alum, subsequently dyed with catechu, and bio-finished using eucalyptus leaf extract with lemon juice as a catalyst, results in biomedical textiles with remarkable antimicrobial properties. Such fabrics can be utilized in doctors’ surgical gowns, multilayer wound-healing antimicrobial patches, and sun-protective clothing for patients with vitamin D2 deficiency. The book addresses contemporary advancements in revolutionizing patient care through both implantable and external medical textile devices. It delves into the production, properties, and challenges of biomedical textiles as an interdisciplinary field at the forefront of global research and applications. It will be highly valuable for industry practitioners, manufacturers, and researchers working in this interdisciplinary domain.”
-Prof. Dr A. K. Samanta, Institute of Jute Technology (IJT), University of Calcutta, India.


“Meditech is an emerging field of biomedical sciences. It has plenty of medical applications. This book has comprehensively covered the fundamental information, properties, and applications of biomedical textiles. It explains the latest technologies used in this field and how to further their applications. The editors of the book have more than a decade of research experience in this field. Their domain knowledge, experimental studies, and constructive methodology have beautifully explained every topic. This book will prove a solid addition to the library of this field.”
