and sodium alginate (Gomes et al. 2013), poly((3-acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride and poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid sodium
salt) (Liu et al. 2015), and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and sodium polyphosphate (Apaydin et al. 2014).
3.3 Summary and Outlook
This chapter tried to offer a wide and varied vision of the research fields on the
modification of polymeric fibers with textile objectives, using different chemical
methodologies. The topics discussed here highlight the increasing scope of the
application of reactive and functional polymers on textile materials, as well as ongoing efforts to reduce the environmental impact of textile garment manufacturing
operations, with a view to the green and sustainable production. Finally, despite the
long history of the use of clothing by mankind, active research in this area continues
as researchers continue to develop and apply innovative materials and processes to
address this basic human need.
