textiles is important for achieving specific performance
characteristics in various woven applications. Woven textiles are
used in a range of products such as apparel, technical and
industrial textiles. Woven textile structure: Theory and
applications provides comprehensive coverage of the structure,
behaviour, modeling and design of woven fabrics and their relevance
to the textile industry.
The book presents the latest developments in narrow fabrics and smart materials from research institutions, machinery building companies and producers of such products, presented during the International Week of Narrow and Smart Textiles in Spring 2018 in Moenchengladbach, Germany. It also demonstrates different applications of braided and woven fabrics. Braided and woven narrow products are produced using completely different techniques, but have a lot of similarities in their applications - they are used as belts, ropes and tubes in areas ranging from medical textiles, cables, technical and home applications to large-scale transport belts and long tubes for transporting oil from the bottom of the ocean.
Due to their complexity and diversity, understanding the structure

standard reference on key aspects of fibre performance. The new
edition has been substantially reorganised and revised to reflect
new research.

medical field.
Nonwovens are a unique class of textile material formed from fibres
that are bonded together through various means to form a coherent
structure. Given their rapid industrial development and diverse
markets, understanding and developing nonwovens is becoming
increasingly important. With its distinguished editor and array of
international contributors, the Handbook of nonwovens, offers a
comprehensive review of the latest advances in this area and how
they can be applied to particular products.
The use of intelligent textiles in clothing is an exciting new
field with wide-ranging applications. Intelligent textiles and
clothing summarises some of the main types of intelligent textiles
and their uses.
At present the textile industry produces the majority of its 34
billion square yards of printed textile fabric by screen printing.
However as we move into the digital age developments in digital
printing of paper are being adapted more and more for the textile
market. Inkjet textile printing is growing while growth in analog
textile printing remains stagnant. As digital print technologies
improve offering faster production and larger cost-effective print
runs, digital printing will grow to become the technology that
provides the majority of the world s printed textiles.

This monograph originates from my work on the HAPTEX project. In - cember 2004 Prof. Franz-Erich Wolter, the head of the Institute of Man- Machine Communication of the Leibniz Universit. at Hannover, o?ered me the opportunity to participate in that EU funded project. Being a mat- matician I had only very little experience in the ?eld of haptic simulation in those days, but Prof. Wolter trusted in my ability to become acquainted with new ?elds of research in a very short time. I am still thankful for the con?dence he has shown me. Since then I indeed learned and found out a lot. With this monograph I try to pass on the knowledge I gained. Having a reader in mind who-like me at the beginning of the project-has no background in psychophysics, neurophysiologyortextileengineeringIwillprovidethenecessarybasics.The skilled reader may safely skip these parts. Nevertheless I presume some basic knowledge in mathematics. I hope that this thesis might help a newcomer to discover the fascinating ?eld of tactile simulation. This workwouldnot havebeen possible without the funding of the project "HAPtic sensing of virtual TEXtiles" (HAPTEX) under the Sixth Fra- work Programme (FP6) of the European Union (Contract No. IST-6549).
This book discusses in detail the concepts of recycling and upcycling and their implications for the textiles and fashion sector. In addition to the theoretical concepts, the book also presents various options for recycling and upcycling in textiles and fashion. Although recycling is a much-developed and widely used concept, upcycling is also gaining popularity in the sector.
From nomads' tents to poodle skirts, from car parts to Christmas tree ornaments, felt is one of the world's oldest and most understated textiles. Felt has developed simultaneously in multiple cultures, and often its origins are lost. However, far from having been supplanted by new fabrics, not only has felt retained its traditional uses among peoples around the world, but it has also seen a revival of popularity among today's hand feltmakers, craftspeople and fashion designers. This book follows the journey of felt through time, space, and purpose by pulling into focus a series of snapshots of different felting traditions. Beautifully illustrated, "Felt" covers the wide-ranging history and development of this most unassuming, yet ubiquitous, of fabrics from the earliest archaeological evidence in the mountains of Siberia to the groundbreaking works of contemporary fiber arts and sculptors.
The field of fibre rope technology has witnessed incredible change
and technological advance over the last few decades. At the
forefront of this change has been the development of synthetic
fibres and modern types of rope construction. This handbook updates
the history and structural mechanics of fibre rope technology and
describes the types and properties of modern rope-making materials
and constructions. |
