| Summary | Annotation With an increase in textile manufacturers relocating to developing countries with cheaper overheads the manufacturers that remain need to diversify and add value to their products to be competitive. These value added products are designed from traditional methods not specific to their new technical applications. This is causing problems in the market place. Fiber to fabric engineering will look at design concepts from traditional to technical textiles and discuss engineering approaches to the process of manufacturing these products. CONTENTS Part 1 Introduction: Fiber to fabric engineering: Design concepts of fibrous and polymeric structures; Current approaches to design and limitations. Part 2 Design capacity of specific textiles: Design capacity of fibers; Design capacity of yarns; Design capacity of knit and woven fabrics; Design capacity of nonwoven fabrics. Part 3 Integrated fiber to fabric design: The concept of integrated fiber-to-fabric design in traditional textiles; The concept of integrated fiber-to-fabric design in technical textiles; Environmentally-oriented design; Economical analysis; Future trends and closing remarks. |
