Textile materials or materials made from textiles are probably
among the most important materials in the world. Textile materials
are not only present everywhere in modern daily life, but have been
for thousands of years. Besides obvious textile applications such
as clothes or hometextile there are also many more hidden
applications. For example, textile filters, textiles in production
processes or composite materials are just a few ways that they can
be applied. Altogether, it is implied that modern civilization
without textiles is not possible. This book is dedicated to the
advances in textile research and application. Here, readers must
keep in mind that the final textile in the final application is the
product of many different production steps, which is known as the
textile chain. Many different disciplines contribute to this
textile chain, such as chemistry and machine engineering but also
less obvious influences like agricultural science in terms of
cotton or wool fiber production. The life of a textile material
starts with fiber production; this can be a natural process for
plant fibers, animal fibers or regenerated fibers from natural
resources. In contrast, chemical fibers see their origin via
chemical synthesis. After fiber production, yarn production
follows, which is in the field of spinning technology. From the
yarn comes the textile materials as fabrics or non-wovens are
produced using processes such as weaving, knitting, braiding, etc.
These textile products are further modified by dyeing and printing
processes. Finishing is often also used to realize special
functional properties on a textile product. Finally, the textile
product is realized as either cloth, home textile or technical
application. Besides technical aspects, design and marketing also
play an important role. After following this summary, it is obvious
that this book cannot cover every single aspect of textile and
textile products. Therefore, this book headlines with every chapter
a topic in the area of textile research and application, which is a
topic in actual scientific research but also in industrial
development. The main topics include: microwave based processes,
plasma technology, photoactive textiles, electrospinning, braiding
processes, wool materials, coatings, textile functionalization, and
UV-protective and light responsive materials This book is dedicated
to readers from universities and industries that engage in some
form of textile production. For the industry, it can help to
promote ideas for new innovative processes and products. For
university students especially graduates s it can help to broaden
their expertise in very different fields of the textile world.
Also, established scientists could benefit from this text to use as
a tool to generate new ideas for further research.
