    • Inglés
    Textile Surface Engineering: Techniques, Applications, and Future Directions highlights the wide range of approaches available for modifying textile surfaces while also considering textile surface modification strategies for a variety of textile applications and discussing the actual practical benefits arising from these strategies. The book concludes with outline discussions of emerging trends and potential future developments in the field of surface modified textiles. Readers will find this to be an updated critique of the practical benefits of textile surface modifications and the improvements that they can bestow on textile products.Textiles possess an enormous range of diverse applications. The diversity of these applications requires an astonishing range of textile properties, and it is widely recognized that the structure and geometry of textile fibers and the types of fabric constructed from them are key factors. Important additional factors, however, are the nature of the fiber surface and the nature of the surface of the constructed fabric. These surfaces can often be modified to provide much improved performance in the application for which the fabric is intended.
