Textile Technology

This book provides an overview of the complete process of textile manufacturing. The various raw materials, the different methods of yarn and fabric manufacturing, and an introduction to knitting technology, nonwovens, finishing, and ready-made garment production are described in detail. As technical textiles become more and more important, one chapter focuses on their production as well as on their typical applications. The book concludes with a discussion of current recycling processes. To provide a better understanding of the individual textile processes, an example at the end of each chapter describes a particular textile product and the respective processing steps necessary for its manufacture.
