Carbon Nanotubes in Protective Fabrics: A Short Review by Bhanu Pratap Singh in Trends in Textile Engineering & Fashion Technology Carbon nanotube (CNT) is a very fascinating material with outstanding properties suitable for various applications. In this review the importance of CNTs as ballistic materials are discussed, starting from various application of CNTs in textile industries and the utilization of CNTs in different ways to make composites for ballistic protection i.e dispersion of CNTs in polymer matrix which is used as impregnation of ballistic fabrics, growth of CNTs on ballistic fabrics and finally CNTs based fabrics. Some recent work carried out by various researchers in this field is also discussed. It has been found that only few layers of CNT fabrics can replace the several layers of ballistic fabrics and this will help in reducing the weight of existing ballistic protective fabrics significantly without hampering their performance. https://crimsonpublishers.com...

Efficacy of Silk Fibroin Based Bio-Ink in 3D Printing for Tissue Engineering by Manjunath RN in Trends in Textile Engineering & Fashion Technology Today, countless peoples are suffering and dying from various diseases and one of the reason being the non-compatibility and failure of life saving drugs. In fact 90 percent of the new drug that are tested in labs, on animals trials which are promised to cure the problems actually fail in certain humans. Sometimes, the drug failures during human trials are tragic enough to result in rapid multiple organ failures making the human tester incapable from leading his/her normal lifestyle [1]. The drug that demonstrated its ability to cure in the laboratories may not work same on all people as each human body is unique. This poses to be a major challenge for the drug manufacturers whose significant point of concern would be to develop safe and effective drug which is a risky, time consuming and highly expensive process in reality.
