The properties of important fibers are compared in a large number of tables and graphics to simplify selecting an appropriate fiber for a given application. The Content: Natural fibers: History, production, properties, applications, markets. Chemical fibers: History, production processes, components and machines for the manufacturing of cellulosic and synthetic fibers, properties, applications, markets. Special topics: Metal fibers, carbon nanotubes, biopolymers, optic...
Digital Textile Printing: Science, Technology and Markets integrates the latest advances in the technology, management and design of digital textile printing. Ongoing improvements in digital technology have driven a high rate of innovation in this sector, and this book draws on the latest advances from industry and academia to bring the reader fully up-to-date. The theoretical and practical aspects of the subject are addressed across the supply chain. In addition to the latest digital methods, the book also provides the latest advice on inks, their rheology, their affinity to different fibers, and their shelf-life. This collection also explores emerging applications in this sector, pointing the way for future developments in textile printing. - Explains the basics of digital image design and data encoding - Provides technical details on all common types of digital printing machines - Addresses common barriers to the implementation of digital printing technology
Automotive textiles represent one of the most valuable international markets for technical textiles. Textile advances in the automotive industry provides an in-depth review of the design and development of automotive textiles and the recent advances made in technical textiles for a variety of automotive applications.Part one discusses issues such as automotive textile requirements from a car producer's perspective, mapping the automotive textile supply chain, advances in textile fabrics including nonwoven fabrics, and recycling issues. Part two focuses on automotive interiors with chapters on performance and style of interior textiles, materials and design for car seats, and the reduction of...
The use of mathematical modelling and computer simulation can vastly improve the quality, efficiency and economic success of textile technology. Simulation in textile technology provides a comprehensive review of the key principles, applications and benefits of modelling for textile production.After an introduction to modelling and simulation, Simulation in textile technology goes on to review the principles and applications of the main types of model. The book first discusses neural networks and their applications before going on to explore evolutionary methods and fuzzy logic. It then considers computational fluid dynamics and finite element modelling. The modelling of fibrous structures a...
Textile Technology is a unique and readable introduction into the field of textile engineering. It is based on an elementary level course focusing on the manufacture (processes and machines) of yarn, fabric, knitwear, nonwovens, braids, reinforcing fabrics, and technical textiles, but also provides technicians and engineers in the textile industry with an up-to-date review of processes and equipment for textile manufacturing. The book covers all processing steps for the manufacturing of textiles, describing materials, processes and machines, finishing, making-up, and recycling. To provide a better understanding of the individual textile processes, each chapter ends with an example describing...

The book covers all processing steps for the manufacturing of textiles, describing materials, processes and machines, finishing, making-up, and recycling. To provide a better understanding of the individual textile processes, each chapter ends with an example describing the respective processing steps for a specific textile product. In addition, current and future development trends are discussed.The second edition is brought up to date with extensive coverage of new developments, such as in the fields of testing, measurement, and simulation.
Advances in technology, combined with the ever-evolving needs of the global market, are having a strong impact on the textile and clothing sector. The global textile and clothing industry: Technological advances and future challenges provides an essential review of these changes, and considers their implications for future strategies concerning production and marketing of textile products.Beginning with a review of trends in the global textile industry, the book goes on to consider the impact of environmental regulation on future textile products and processes. Following this, the importance of innovation-driven textile research and development, and the role of strategic technology roadmappi...

Im 15. Jahrhundert waren die Geschicke Bayerns von den innerdynastischen Konflikten der Wittelsbacher geprägt. Wie konnte sich dennoch zeitgleich das Landesbewusstsein in der bayerischen Chronistik entwickeln? Waren die damaligen Chronisten wirklich treue Anhänger ihrer herzoglichen Auftraggeber, wie die Forschung in den letzten Jahren vermutete? Die vorliegende Untersuchung kommt zu einem anderen Ergebnis: Die Chronisten versuchten, die Politik der Herzöge mit guten und schlechten Beispielen zu beeinflussen. Die Geschichte sollte als »magistra vitae« dienen und damit in der Gegenwart wirken. Als Kriterium, um fürstliches Verhalten zu beurteilen, war das »Land« der Katalysator für die Ausprägung des Landesbewusstseins. Während zu Beginn des 15. Jahrhunderts die Herrschaftsrechte der Wittelsbacher in Bayern die Grundlage für das Landesbewusstsein bildeten, ergänzten es später - angeregt durch humanistische Einflüsse - geographische und topographische Elemente.
