Textiles
1998
Kadolph, Sara J. | Langford, Anna
"With an emphasis on serviceability, this popular text continues its focus on three major end uses of textiles: apparel, furnishing and industrial products. Comprehensive coverage of new fibers and finishes, legislation, production issues, and cost is presented in a clear, straight-forward manner, making this one of the best textile books available. Chapters are organized to follow the order in which textiles are addressed in the industry, beginning with coverage of fibers, and following with sections on yarns, fabric construction, and fabric finishes. Material includes traditional background information, an overview of the historical development of the textile industry, discussion of production processes, and major uses for each fiber, plus a review of new developments in the field. Equal attention is paid to both apparel and furnishings textiles, with the focus on helping students develop an understanding of how performance and characteristics are engineered to provide serviceable textile products."--Publisher's description.
