Handbook of Stretchable and Elastomeric Textiles, Paperback / softback Book

Paperback / softback

Description

Handbook of Stretchable and Elastomeric Textiles is a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about elastomeric textiles, including manufacturing techniques, physical properties, processing methods, and in-use care.

All types of stretchable textiles are covered, including polymers, fibers, yarns, fabrics and composites.

Starting with the fundamentals of the synthesis, properties and processing of elastomeric materials, this book goes on to help the reader choose the most appropriate parameters for manufacturing and processing, as well as the best elastomeric material according to specific end use applications.

In general, elastomeric textiles are difficult to handle.

During the manufacturing of elastomeric fabric, the handling of yarns is complicated.

In addition, the processing stage is also challenging due to the heat sensitivity of the materials that affects how they are dyed, printed, washed and dried.

The specific techniques required to produce a successful elastomeric textile have been developed over many years, hence this expertise is hard to come by.
