Over the year, the focus on the textile materials has shifted from general to specific applications. Textiles are no longer limited to the primary function of covering the human body, although clothing is one of the three basic human needs. The diversification and the technological advancement of textile sciences to such an extent no area seems to be untouched by textiles. Few decades back it would have been hard to believe textiles could be used in human organs transplantation, but today the same has been realized in practice. Be it automotive, aerospace, construction, electronic or any other industry–the presence of textiles has been vivid in every area. Technical and industrial textiles have fitted into the every hook and corner of human society. Technical textiles are finding increased application in today’s world. It won’t be an exaggeration to predict these (technical textiles) to be the textiles of 21st century....
