Mukesh Kumar Singh is Professor of Textile Technology at the Uttar Pradesh Textile Technology Institute Kanpur, affiliated to Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow India. Before joining academia in 1999, he worked at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi as Project Associate for the spinning industry. He has authored a previous Woodhead book titled Industrial Practices in Weaving Preparatory and has contributed chapters on related topics including cosmetotextiles and photovoltaic textiles in other books, as well as editing one other book. He teaches the subjects structure and properties of fibres, and characterization of materials since 1999 at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels. His research experience is focused on polymer characterization and conversion of polymer to fibres. Annika Singh is Assistant Professor of Bio-technology at the CSJMU, Kanpur, and was previously a Researcher at IIT Delhi, and Indian Institute of Pulse Researches, Kanpur. Her research experience is focused on biopolymer characterization.
