Textile Engineering: Design and Manufacturing

Textile engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the principles, processes and scientific methodologies employed in the manufacture of textile fabrics and yarns. Research in this field delves into the advancement of textile equipment, machinery and processing techniques, design of newer textiles that suit industry requirements, environmental testing and investigating better and innovative techniques of dyeing. Scientists are investigating new methodologies to reduce the environmental footprint of engineering processes and incorporate nanotechnology and polymer science, to make textiles of superior quality. This book covers all the technological advances and studies that have broadened the horizons of textile design and manufacturing. It will be beneficial to textile engineers, chemical engineers and students interested in this discipline.
