Description

The action of friction in fibers and textiles plays a major role in product performance, from the generation of the fiber through to the various ways a garment responds to wear. Friction in Textiles addresses both the beneficial and detrimental processes of friction with chapters on fiber structure, the sources of friction, measurement techniques, static electrification, shrink proofing and felting, surface modification treatments, effects of friction on synthetic and natural fibers and fabrics, and the role friction plays in textile processing. It also covers the structure and morphology of fibers and includes a historical perspective and future outlook of these studies.

Table of Contents

Part One: Understanding Friction in Textiles Textile fiber morphology, structure and properties in relation to friction Fundamental concepts of friction and lubrication affecting textile fibers Friction behaviour of fibrous materials used in textiles Stick-slip phenomena in textiles Experimental methods for analyzing friction in textiles Part two: Friction in Particular Textile Fibres, Structures, and Processes Friction and Surface Characteristics of Cotton Fibers Friction, felting and shrink-proofing of wool Friction and surface characteristics of synthetic fibers The role of fiber friction in staple fiber processing Friction in woven fabrics Finishes and treatments to control friction in textile fibers Boundary lubrication phenomena in coated textile surfaces

Description

Friction is a major issue in both the production of textiles and in the finished product. This authoritative book reviews how friction occurs and the ways it can be measured and controlled.The book begins by looking at how friction can be defined and how the structure and properties of textile fibres lead to friction behaviour. It also discusses slip-stick phenomena in textiles and ways of measuring friction in yarns and fabric. The second part of the book reviews friction in particular textiles, including cotton, wool and synthetic fibres as well as woven fabrics. These and other chapters also discuss ways of controlling friction, including fabric finishes and lubricants.With its distinguished editor and contributions from some of the world's leading authorities in the subject, Friction in textile materials is a standard reference for the textile industry and those researching this important topic.
