Sustainable Textile and Fashion Value Chains
This book illustrates key sustainability issues in global textile and fashion value chains, by examining individual types of fibers either at a single step in or along the entire value chain. It approaches sustainability-related issues in the textile and fashion value chain from an interdisciplinary and holistic viewpoint, with each contribution linking questions on the textile and fashion value chain to various drivers, indicators and concepts of sustainability. Each chapter represents a single step in the textile and fashion value chain, exploring and considering a wide range of interwoven and interdependent technological, environmental, social, political and economic aspects. Various fibe...
Particle Technology and Textiles
Functionalization of material systems is one of the key developments nowadays in the textile industry, where particles are frequently used to enhance the properties of fibers and to add new functionalities. This book focuses on innovative textile materials and is a perfect guide for professionals in the textile industry and scientists alike. An overview of particle technology is provided before addressing all topics relevant to particle-enhanced textiles, i.e. the properties and application of micro/nanoparticles in textiles, production techniques, safety, as well as regulatory and intellectual property aspects. The book covers the composition and applications of various types of textile fil...
Fibre2Fashion - Textile Magazine - November 2018
Sri Lanka, as an apparel exporting country, stands out on two counts. First, the apparel export sector is virtually synonymous with quality. The second aspect is its own vibrant fashion ecosystem. The November 2018 issue of Fibre2Fashion looks at trends and challenges of Sri Lanka’s apparel exports. The realities are much different in Ethiopia, the other country that features in this issue. Trade event Green Fashion India, and Q&A with footwear brands VOR and Simone Castelletti as well as other regular features are also covered. Fibre2Fashion magazine—the print venture of Fibre2Fashion.com since 2011—is circulated among a carefully-chosen target audience globally, and reaches the desks of top management and decision-makers in the textiles, apparel and fashion industry.

The Routledge History of Fashion and Dress, 1800 to the Present
The time span covered by The Routledge History of Fashion and Dress starts in the nineteenth century, with the aftermath of the consumers’ revolution, and reaches all the way to the present. The fashion and garment industries have been international from the beginning and, as such, this volume looks at the history of fashion and dress through the lenses of both international and global history. Because fashion is also a multifaceted subject with humanagency at its core, at the confluence of thematerial (fabrics, clothing, dyes, tools, and machines) and the immaterial (savoir-faire, identities, images, and brands), this volume adopts a transdisciplinary perspective, opening its pages to res...
Flying Insects and Robots
Flying insects are intelligent micromachines capable of exquisite maneuvers in unpredictable environments. Understanding these systems advances our knowledge of flight control, sensor suites, and unsteady aerodynamics, which is of crucial interest to engineers developing intelligent flying robots or micro air vehicles (MAVs). The insights we gain when synthesizing bioinspired systems can in turn benefit the fields of neurophysiology, ethology and zoology by providing real-life tests of the proposed models. This book was written by biologists and engineers leading the research in this crossdisciplinary field. It examines all aspects of the mechanics, technology and intelligence of insects and...
Wohnen in Hamburg
In wohnungspolitischen Debatten dient Hamburg vielfach als bundesweites Vorbild. Dennoch ist auch hier die Lage durch kontinuierlich steigende Mieten und Preise für breite Teile der Bevölkerung prekär. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes behandeln die Situation der Wohnungsversorgung in der Hansestadt und geben einen kritischen Überblick über zentrale Akteure, Instrumente und Konfliktfelder. Aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive zeigen sie historische Entwicklungspfade sowie aktuelle Lösungsansätze auf und analysieren relevante Kontroversen. So entsteht ein informativer Überblick über die Forschung zur Hamburger Wohnungspolitik, der auch für Praktiker*innen aus Stadtplanung und Politik neue Erkenntnisse bereithält.
