Advanced Characterization and Testing of Textiles

Advanced Characterization and Testing of Textiles explores developments in physical and chemical testing, and specific tests for high-performance textiles. Textiles are tested in order to gauge product quality, assess performance and ensure regulatory compliance. The increasing variety of end uses and performance requirements associated with textiles has resulted in the evolution of advanced testing processes. This book introduces the principles of advanced characterization and testing, including the importance of performance-based specifications in the textiles industry. Chapters are organised by textile properties, and provide in-depth coverage of testing each characteristic; tests for specific applications are addressed, with the main focus on high-performance and technical textiles. Focuses on advanced testing methods for technical and high-performance textiles, covering state-of-the-art technology in its fieldIndividually details specific textile properties and associated testing for each characteristic INDICE: PART ONE Principles of textile characterization and testing 1.
