Engineering Textiles: Integrating the Design and Manufacture of Textile Products

By Yehia E. El Mogahzy

A pioneering guide to textile product design and development, this book covers technical and traditional textiles, discussing several approaches to the fiber-to-fabric engineering of various textile products. Part one discusses fiber-to-fabric engineering in the context of product development and design of fiber-based products. Part two discusses the different types of fibers, yarns and fabrics suitable for the production of traditional and function-focused textiles. Chapters include key topics such as structure, characteristics and the design of textiles. Part three concludes with a discussion of the development of specific fibre applications, ranging from traditional textile products through to technical textiles such as transport and medical applications.
