Encyclopedia of Textiles, Fibers and Non-Woven Fabrics


Book Description

This encyclopedia is another in the series of carefully selected reprints from the world-renowned Kirk-Othmer Encylopedia of Chemical Technology, designed to provide specific audiences with articles grouped by a central theme. As a handy desk reference, it incorporates all the original articles related to textiles, fibers, and non-woven fabrics, as well as specialty fibers such as elastomeric applications, synthetic leather, artificial turf, and more. Includes full bibliographies, tables, and illustrative materials.




Non-woven Fabrics


Book Description

Non-woven Fabrics is differentiated text which covers overall stream from raw fibers to final products and includes features of manufacturing and finish process with specialized application end use. Application range of non-woven fabrics is extended to all the industrial fields needless to say apparel, such as ICT (information and communication technology), bio- and medicals, automobiles, architectures, construction and environmental. Every chapter is related to the important and convergent fields with the technical application purpose from downstream to upstream fields. Also, applicability of non-woven fabrics is introduced to be based on the structural analysis of dimensional concept and various non-woven fabrics as a state-of-art embedded convergent material are emphasized in all industry fields by using nanofibers and carbon fibers.

Nonwoven Fabrics


Book Description

From the utilization of textile waste to the high-tech product - this is how modern nonwovens can best described. Web formation and web bonding processes have recently being enhanced. Nowadays, fibres, granulates, binder and finishing agents are used. This development entails a wider range of applications in the fields of hygiene, medicine, the garment-producing and building industries, interior design as well as further technical uses. This book provides comprehensive information about nonwovens, from the raw material fibres via the manufacturing processes to finishing and to the ready-made product. Nonwoven characteristics and the fields of application are discussed in detail as well as the processes available to test the raw materials, the intermediate and the final products. This book will be the standard reference on nonwovens in the years to come!




Academic Dictionary Of Textiles


Book Description

The present publication is an up-to-date, authentic and comprehensive dictionary of textiles, which recognises that textiles is a field in its own right, and with its own language, and that terms and their definitions are important for professionals and students of textiles. It aims to provide clear, concise, and correct definitions and descriptions of the terms used in textiles. The terminology of all the branches of textiles are included in this work. This work is designed to be a comprehensive reference tool for textiles professionals, students and laymen interested in textiles. It is earnestly hoped that it will be an authoritative source to which one can turn with confidence for meaning and knowledge of the common, specialised and latest terms in textiles and allied fields.







Understanding Textiles


Book Description

This book helps readers "understand "how the components of textiles--fiber, yarn, fabric, dye, and finish--contribute to the performance of products for specific end uses. With a focus on the "why" behind the material, it encourages students to understand and predict textile properties and performance. This edition emphasizes the global environment and offers separate chapters in fiber properties; fabrics and structures; and nonwoven fabrics. Finishes are now separated into two chapters (physical/mechanical finishes and chemical finishes) and "Take a Closer" look sections bring an in-depth perspective to select chapter topics.




Nonwovens


Book Description

Nonwovens: Process, Structure, Properties and Applications outlines the concept and principle of entire nonwoven manufacturing process starting from raw material selection, web formation techniques, web bonding methods and finishing. Further, characterization and testing of non-woven fabrics, application of non-woven fabrics in different areas such as apparel, aggrotech, geotech, medical and hygiene, automotive textiles, filtration products, home textiles, roofing and construction and packaging were also discussed in detail. The advancements in non-woven manufacturing known as composite non-woven, their properties and applications were discussed in detail. The application of natural fibers in non-woven manufacturing with their advantages and limitations were also discussed in brief. This book is primarily a text book intended for textile technology students in universities and colleges, researchers, industrialists and academicians, as well as professionals in the apparel and textile industry.
