Books in the Textile Science & Technology series

Discusses aspects of textile processing, modification and performance for four major topics: preparation, dyeing and printing, improving functional and aesthetic textile properties, and performance. A progression from the initial purification of textiles to their performance and care is described.

Textile chemical processing, particularly the pre-treatment processes, requires a highly sophisticated technology and engineering. This book discusses the fundamental aspects of chemistry, chemical technology and machineries involved in the various pre-treatment process of textiles before subsequent dyeing, printing and finishing.

Discusses the theoretical aspects of absorbency as well as the structure, properties and performance of materials. This work covers topics which include: scientific principles of absorbency and structure property relationships; material technology including super absorbents, non-woven, natural and synthetic fibres and surfactants; and more.
