Preface

Fashion, innovation, and performance requirements are continually guiding the development of textile products and textile manufacturing processes. Principally, textile manufacturing involves the production or conversion of textile fiber into a particular product. The resultant product can be a finished product ready for the consumer market, or it may be an intermediate product to be used as an input (raw

Different processes are used for producing natural textiles and manmade or synthetic textiles. However, the post-fiber formation processes are somewhat similar for both types of textiles. In general, these processes can be classified as either physical or chemical. Physical textile manufacturing processes are required to convert the textile fiber in yarns, non-woven, woven, and knitted fabrics, and technical textiles. Chemical textile manufacturing processes include sizing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerization, dyeing, printing, and special chemical finishing.

This book is a collection of research and academic work in the field of textile manufacturing. Written by experts, chapters cover topics including yarn manufacturing, fabric manufacturing, and garment and technical textiles. The production of natural textile fiber and man- made textile fiber follow different processing scheme, however the post- fiber formation processes may have some level of similarity. In general the conventional post- fiber formation processes may mainly be classified as physical and chemical textile manufacturing processes. The physical textile manufacturing processes are required to convert the textile fiber in yarn, non- woven, woven, knitted, technical textile, and special finishing effects etc. The chemical textile manufacturing processes include sizing, desizing, scouring, bleaching,
