The technical importance of flexible composite structures needs no
emphasis nor has there been any lack of material descriptive of
their manufacture or properties. The starting points of such
descriptions have invariably been from the viewpoint of the rubber
industry and the presence of a suitable textile has been taken for
granted, its strength properties indicated and the technological
content confined to the manufacturing process within the rubber
industry. An attempt is made here to work from the textile
outwards. Industrial fabrics are far heavier than garment textiles,
are not produced in the same bulk quantities and need to be
specially constructed to provide the balance of properties which
will combine with those of the rubber to give the final. product.
The most important composite structure formed from textiles and
rubber is, of course, the pneumatic tyre. It may therefore seem
strange that no chapter deals with this. The reason is quite
simple. To deal with the structure and design of the pneumatic tyre
in a similar depth of detail as is done here for conveyor or power
transmission belting, or hose, would require disproportionate
space; in fact, a second volume equal in size to the present one.
This book discusses from the textile viewpoint the various
reinforced rubber structures used industrially with the exception
of the tyre. These other uses of industrial fabrics can be
discussed in adequate detail and cover the whole range of the
technology involved in the space available in the one volume.
