A pioneering guide to textile product design and development, this book covers technical and traditional textiles, discussing several approaches to the fiber-to-fabric engineering of various textile products. Part one discusses fiber-to-fabric engineering in the context of product development and design of fiber-based products. Part two reviews the different types of fibers, yarns and fabrics suitable for the production of traditional and function-focused textiles. Chapters include key topics such as structure, characteristics and the design of textiles. Part three concludes with a exploration of the development of specific fiber applications, ranging from traditional textile products through to technical textiles such as transport and medical applications.
