Book Synopsis Polymeric Protective Technical Textiles by : Brian J McCarthy
Download or read book Polymeric Protective Technical Textiles written by Brian J McCarthy and published by Smithers Rapra. This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current size of the personal protective clothing and equipment market in the EU alone is estimated at a 9.5-10 billion, with around 200,000 jobs directly or indirectly related to these products and services. The fast growth forecasted in certain parts of the world suggests that EU exports could grow by about 50% over the next 5-10 years. New fibres and new functionality will increase the global size of this niche market. Among the issues of specific concern for protective textiles are swifter development and use of international standards in the global market, which, combined with appropriate measures for the protection of intellectual property, would accelerate the increase in demand for protective textiles. This book contains authoritative chapters addressing issues ranging from anti-microbial textiles through to textiles for aircraft ejector seats. The protective textiles lead market offers opportunities for the entire textile sector. Spill-over effects from faster growing innovations in protective textiles to other market segments, such as interior textiles or functional clothing, would considerably increase the economic impact of the lead market, thus increasing the knowledge content and the added-value, contributing to a sustainable competitiveness of the entire textile sector. Global textile fibre usage in 2011 grew to 82 million tonnes and is estimated to grow to 101 million tonnes in 2017. There were record purchases of textile manufacturing machinery in 2012 - with increased use and processing of natural and synthetic polymer fibres. This book will prompt new ideas for product development in this rapidly expanding area and will be of interest to academics, students and industrialists.

Book Synopsis Textiles in Ancient Mediterranean Iconography by : Susanna Harris
Download or read book Textiles in Ancient Mediterranean Iconography written by Susanna Harris and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2022-02-03 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an ambitious synopsis of the complex, colourful world of textiles in ancient Mediterranean iconography. A wealth of information on ancient textiles is available from depictions such as sculpture, vase painting, figurines, reliefs and mosaics. Commonly represented in clothing, textiles are also present in furnishings and through the processes of textile production. The challenge for anyone analysing ancient iconography is determining how we interpret what we see. As preserved textiles rarely survive in comparable forms, we must consider the extent to which representations of textiles reflect reality, and critically evaluate the sources. Images are not simple replicas or photographs of reality. Instead, iconography draws on select elements from the surrounding world that were recognisable to the ancient audience, and reveal the perceptions, ideologies, and ideas of the society in which they were produced. Through examining the durable evidence, this anthology reveals the ephemeral world of textiles and their integral role in the daily life, cult and economy of the ancient Mediterranean.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Stretchable and Elastomeric Textiles by : Adeel Zulifqar
Download or read book Handbook of Stretchable and Elastomeric Textiles written by Adeel Zulifqar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2024-06-22 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Stretchable and Elastomeric Textiles is a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about elastomeric textiles, including manufacturing techniques, physical properties, processing methods, and in-use care. All types of stretchable textiles are covered, including polymers, fibers, yarns, fabrics and composites. Starting with the fundamentals of the synthesis, properties and processing of elastomeric materials, this book goes on to help the reader choose the most appropriate parameters for manufacturing and processing, as well as the best elastomeric material according to specific end use applications. In general, elastomeric textiles are difficult to handle. During the manufacturing of elastomeric fabric, the handling of yarns is complicated. In addition, the processing stage is also challenging due to the heat sensitivity of the materials that affects how they are dyed, printed, washed and dried. The specific techniques required to produce a successful elastomeric textile have been developed over many years, hence this expertise is hard to come by. - Provides foundational knowledge on the polymeric structure of elastomeric fibers - Explains how various materials can be used to prepare elastomeric fibers - Addresses how elastomerics are being used in wearables and smart textile technologies
