Texturing is increasingly important in textile production, not only in yarns
for weaving and knitting fashion products, but also for carpets, furnishing
fabrics and a variety of technical textiles. This new book covers all the major
techniques including twist-texturing, jet-screeen texturing, false-twist
process, BCF processes and air-jet texturingare in detail.
Combining a
comprehensive review of the physics and chemistry of texturing with a thorough,
illustrated description of current practice, this book will be invaluable for
yarn and fabric manufacturers, textile scientists and students on textile
science and technology courses.
