Nanotechnology in Textiles: Theory and Application explains how conventional methods for treating fabrics for specific functions can by improved upon with the use of nanotechnology. Overviews of relevant, fundamental nanophysics and nanochemistry theory are provided, along with explanations of their application in textile finishing, providing a crucial resource for readers exploring this expanding frontier in textiles. The book draws on research from around the globe to address the latest nanotechnological developments that are all examined with references to industrial applications.

Provides a complete, theoretical overview of nanotechnology and nanofibers for those with materials science or engineering backgrounds Covers a broad range of topics, including aerogels, polymer nanocomposites, nanohazards, and electrospinning Looks ahead to emerging applications of nanotechnology in textiles to point the way for further research and innovation

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.

Polymer Composites for the Automotive Industry covers a classification of polymer-based composites and nanocomposites that is accompanied by elucidations on material properties and characterization alongside modeling and testing methods for specific fabrication of a multitude of car parts in need of modernizing modifications (including chassis, exterior components, internal accessories, seats, brakes, floors, springs, wheels, battery boxes, etc.). Some application examples for other road transport, aerospace, aviation, and marine vehicles are also summarized for a more complete digest of polymer composites’ relevance across the industry.This in-depth review further proves to be a highly valuable resource as it closes the gap between research and practical implementation by offering guidance to transform prototype designs into tangible, testable products at industrial scale at a time when sustainability is seen as a critical priority and cost-effectiveness is essential for competitive advantage. This book equips readers with sought-after, systematic information on these materials, whose application will keep transforming the vehicle engineering sector in a pivotal way.

Covers design, modeling, and analysis of conventional and advanced polymer composites used in automotive applicationsIncludes discussions on a variety of sustainability aspects (e.g., product lifecycle assessment, recycling, waste utilization, circularity, biodegradability) that are germane to advancing environmental compatibilityShowcases industry-relevant prototype implementation models and features useful case studies for demonstrable innovation in practice

Knitting has been and remains an important textile technique due to the properties of knitted fabric such as elasticity, stretchability, and comfort. The book provides knowledge about fabric manufacturing techniques, weft knitting structure, and methods of evaluating knitted fabrics and their applications in technical textiles.
