Functional and Technical Textiles covers recent advances in
technology, properties and performance of high-tech yarns and
structures and their applications in different sectors of the smart
and technical textile fields. Applications, including many that go
beyond apparel, where high tech and functional structural fabrics
are used as reinforcements for composites, medical implants and
geotextiles are covered. The book also describes the latest
technologies for producing versatile products for these diversified
applications. Finally, the book makes a survey of the latest
research in technical textiles and its various structures,
properties and applications in composites, medical textiles,
geotextiles, industrial textiles, and more.
Advanced Knitting Technology provides complete coverage of the
latest innovations and developments in knitting technology,
including emerging methods as well as the latest best practice for
classical processes. Many technologies can be used for the
production of cloth such as weaving, knitting, nonwoven, and
braiding. Knitting methods are being selected for a growing range
of applications due to the spectacular properties of knitted
fabric, such as softer tactile quality, higher stretchability,
bulkiness, and functional properties that compare favorably with
other woven fabrics. Beyond the well-known apparel applications,
specially designed knitted structures are uniquely suitable for
high performance applications like reinforcement for composites,
medical implants, and geotextiles. This book presents recent
advances in knitting technology, including structures, properties
and applications of knitted fabrics in modern apparel, activewear,
composites, medical textiles, and geotextiles. With reference to
the latest industry practice, testing, quality and process control
methods for knitting technologies are discussed. Advanced Knitting
Technology covers recent advances in knitting technology,
properties and performance of knitted structures, their
applications in apparel and technical fields.
Spider silk is specially produced from the different species (sp.)
of spider throughout the globe, specially the most fine and
mechanically sound silk produced from nephila sp. The fibriller
parallel model of spider silk gives higher mechanical properties
with better Young's modulus and lower stress than normal silk
coming from the silk-moth. The spider silk gene structure and
viscous rheology governs the -crystalline sheet structure and
-helices analogy which actually makes it a reinforcement material
and provides the maximum toughness and elasticity than the Bombyx
mori silk, rubber, twaron or Kevlar. In this current chapter we
will discuss about the collection, composition, spinning and
molecular structure, mechanical properties with its application of
the spider silk."
