Woven Fabrics

This is a unique book which covers topics from traditional to advanced fabrics widely used in IT, NT, BT, ET, ST industry fields. In general, woven fabrics are known as the traditional textile fabrics for apparel manufacturing and are used widely in various fabric compositions as intermediate goods that affect human activities.

This volume covers overall stream from raw fibers to final products and includes features of manufacturing and finish process with specialized application end use. Application range of non-woven fabrics is extended to all the industrial fields needless to say apparel, such as ICT (information and communication technology), bio- and medicals, automobiles, architectures, construction and environmental.

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.

Weaving is a modern guide that celebrates this ancient art. By nature, weaving is a gentle and slow craft and it will help you to discover the joy of making.
