Abstract
The textiles industry is not a new one, it has been around for thousands of years. With the advent of new technologies, new fibers had been introduced from time to time keeping in view the needs of society and humankind. Clothing is not merely a product to cover the body with beautiful-looking materials. Today, new materials and technology are being developed to meet the growing demand for modern functional textiles. The existence of functional textiles is in fact the inspiration for development of new products to fulfill the specific needs of the textile industry. The use of technology is not only limited to improving the looks of clothing, but has also moved to specific Health perspectives. The day is not far away when medicines will be administered through clothes through transdermal routes. In this chapter, functional finishes of textiles that are highly interesting due to their high potential for practical and industrial applications have been reviewed.
