This state-of-the-art survey of switching fabric architectures gives special attention to combinatorial properties of switching fabrics – nonblockingness and rearrangeability.

This book presents an extensive survey about the recent developments and advancements in the materials technologies using plant/synthetic/hybrid fibers as woven and non-woven fabrics for polymer composite technologies and versatile industrial applications. It looks at the different aspects of manufacturing of various polymer composite fabric materials, their properties, advancements, technologies, materials, applications, life cycle assessments, and future scope. It shows that these woven and non-woven fabric polymeric laminates have excellent mechanical, thermal, and tribological properties and its performance parameters can be tailored depending upon the type of materials used. With the ability to achieve enhanced performance and behavioral characteristics of plant/synthetic hybrid fibers in woven/non-woven fabric laminates, this has allowed achievable potential for high demanding applications. This book is an asset and reference source providing information on recent developments and advancements for researchers, engineers, and technologists working on woven/non-woven fabrics and its composites. Furthermore, it will also be very much useful in automotive, defense, and aerospace industries for developing lightweight components with high mechanical performance.
