Part two analyses the production and properties of carbon nanotubes and polymer nanocomposites and their applications in such areas as aerospace engineering. The third part of the book considers ways of using nanotechnology to improve polymer properties such as thermal stability and dyeability. The final part of the book reviews the use of nanotechnology to modify textile surfaces, including the use of coatings and films, in order to improve hydrophobic, filtration and other properties. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z http://182.160.97.198:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/1472 Composites forming technologies Edited by Long, A. C. Composite materials are available in many forms and are produced using a variety of manufacturing methods. A range of fibre types is used ± primarily carbon and glass ± and these can be combined with a variety of polymer matrices. This book concentrates on `long' fibre composites, including fibres from a few centimetres in length (i.e. excluding injection moulding compounds). 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z http://182.160.97.198:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/1471 Ecotextiles: the way forward for sustainable development in textiles Edited by Miraftab, M.; Horrocks, A. R. This book includes a carefully-chosen and edited selection of 23 papers from the Ecotextile 2004 Conference held at the University of Bolton. Ecotextiles is divided into five main parts. Part one deals with recycling and use of waste as raw materials in such areas as clothing and carpet manufacture. Part two discusses sustainability and eco-design with papers on improved design, use of sustainable fibres and manufacturing techniques. Part three reviews sustainable development and renewables, including discussion of topics such as composites made from textile waste. Part four considers waste management in such areas as dyeing and effluent treatment. The final part of the book assesses novel technologies, including new fibres and finishing techniques. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z http://182.160.97.198:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/1470 Geosynthetics in civil engineering Edited by Sarsby, R. W. Geosynthetics are man-made polymer-based materials which facilitate cost effective building, environmental, transportation and other construction projects. Given their versatility, geosynthetics are a vital material in all aspects of civil engineering. The first section of the book covers the fundamentals of geosynthetics. Chapters discuss the design and durability of geosynthetics together with their material properties and international standards governing their use. Building on these foundations, part two examines the various applications of geosynthetics in areas such as filters, separators, landfills, barriers and foundation materials. The book concludes by reviewing methods of quality assurance and the service life of geosynthetics. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z http://182.160.97.198:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/1469 Thermal and moisture transport in fibrous materials Edited by Pan, N.; Gibson, P. The transfer of heat and moisture through textiles is vital to the manufacture and design of clothing, technical and protective textiles. Continued advances in textile processing technology, the growth of manufactured nonwovens and the application of nanotechnology have resulted in a wealth of research in order to characterise the behaviour of these materials. Thermal and moisture transport in fibrous materials provides a comprehensive guide of the technological developments and scientific understanding in this area. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z http://182.160.97.198:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/1468 Intelligent textiles and clothing Mattila, H. R. The use of intelligent textiles in clothing is an exciting new field with wide-ranging applications. Intelligent textiles and clothing summarises some of the main types of intelligent textiles and their uses. Part one of the book reviews phase change materials (PCM), their role in such areas as thermal regulation and ways they can be integrated into outdoor and other types of clothing. The second part of the book discusses shape memory materials (SMM) and their applications in medical textiles, clothing and composite materials. Part three deals with chromic (colour change) and conductive materials and their use in such areas as sensors within clothing. The final part of the book looks at current and potential applications, including work wear and medical applications. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z http://182.160.97.198:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/1467 Digital printing of textiles Ujiie, H. At present the textile industry produces the majority of its 34 billion square yards of printed textile fabric by screen printing. However as we move into the digital age developments in digital printing of paper are being adapted more and more for the textile market. Inkjet textile printing is growing while growth in analog textile printing remains stagnant. As digital print technologies improve offering faster production and larger cost-effective print runs, digital printing will grow to become the technology that provides the majority of the world’s printed textiles. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z http://182.160.97.198:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/1466 Total colour management in textiles Edited by Xin, John H. Managing colour from the design stage to the finished product can be a difficult activity as colour perception is subjective and can therefore be inconsistent. Total colour management in textiles covers all aspects of managing colour from the design stage to the final product, ensuring that the designer’s vision is fulfilled in the finished colour. There have been many new developments in the area of colour measurement and colour perception which are discussed. These include discussion of the sensory effect of colour for design and use in product development, and digital colour simulation. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z
