| dc.description.abstract | In preparing this textbook, it has been the authors’ objective to provide a
work of reference and instruction to all those involved with textiles in the
automotive industry. Textiles are present in many forms in the automobile
ranging from the seats to battery separators, from headliners to bonnet
liners. The automotive textile industry requires knowledge of several disciplines,
textile chemistry, fabric technology, plastics’ science, production
engineering and interior fabric design. The latter, which has become more
important in recent years, combines artistic talent with textile technology.
Some information is available in specialist trade journals but there is shortage
of literature and especially textbooks dealing with the subject as a
whole. This book is intended to plug that gap and cuts across all the disciplines
involved. | en_US |
