Textile Geometrical Reinforcements for Structural Composites details all types of structures for load bearing structural composite applications, including characterization and manufacturing methods.Unlike conventional composite materials, geometrically oriented textile structures (e.g. woven, knitted and braided constructions) can be designed and developed for load bearing in a particular direction. Their properties can be enhanced by modifying the geometry and material composition. This comprehensive cutting-edge book explains how to achieve these materials with superior mechanical properties in a cost-effective way. Addressing 2D, 3D, and multiaxial woven, knitted, and braided structures, the full range of materials are covered in the context of their load bearing structural composite applications. Methods of characterizing woven, knitted and braided fabric reinforced composites are compared, and impregnation methods using thermoplastic and thermoset resins are described. Potential future directions for research in this field are also explored.

This volume explains knitting technology in an easily-comprehensible and user-friendly manner. The manufacturing of a cost-effective quality product requires careful planning and thorough knowledge of the product as well as production technology. To achieve the desired functional properties in fabric, the relationship between the raw materials, process and finished product is very important. Knitting has been and remains an important textile technique due to the properties of knitted fabric such as elasticity, stretchability, and comfort. Despite the prominence of knitwear, there has been limited data regarding mechanics of weft knitted fabric and effect of structures on physical, mechanical and comfort properties. This book is an attempt to fill that gap. The book provides knowledge about fabric manufacturing techniques, weft knitting structure, and methods of evaluating knitted fabrics and their applications in technical textiles. It also discusses different types of yarn and their manufacturing processes. Testing and quality control in industrial practice as well as management of a fabric dyeing house are also covered.

This book focuses on the sustainable management of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites (FRPC) and explores their role in mitigating climate change, reducing waste, and promoting circular economy principles. It will examine recycling processes including mechanical, thermal, and chemical methods to understand their implications, effectiveness, and environmental impact. The scientific study of recycling systems' technical feasibility, economic viability, and ecological impacts helps researchers, engineers, and lawmakers to make informed decisions. It also explains the scientific principles behind recycling of FRPC and their circular economic transition and how these approaches benefit the environment. This book also mentions how recycled FRPC products are employed in different sectors by studying material properties, performance attributes, and life cycle evaluations. It also helps to determine their suitability for energy-efficient systems, sustainable consumer items, and sustainable infrastructure construction using case studies, scientific literature, and statistics. The book’s in-depth investigation of sustainable solutions in recycling fibre-reinforced composites benefits academic researchers and students in materials science, engineering, environmental science, and sustainability studies. The practical insights and case studies help FRPC-dependent professionals in aircraft, automotive, and structural engineering. The book also helps environmental regulators and sustainable development stakeholders establish policy frameworks and collaborate for a cleaner future.
