Textile Engineering

This audiobook of Textile Engineering is for students, exam candidates and professionals who want a clear working knowledge of how fibres become finished fabrics. It walks through the core areas of the field in a logical order, starting with the fibre types and properties that decide how a material behaves, then moving into yarn formation and the spinning systems used to turn fibre into thread. From there it covers fabric manufacturing, including weaving, knitting and other methods of building cloth, and the structure and performance of the fabrics they produce. Finishing is treated as part of the production chain, so you hear how dyeing and finishing change handle, appearance and durability. Quality control is included to show how strength, shrinkage and other properties are measured and judged against standards. Technical textiles and textile composite materials round out the picture, linking traditional manufacturing to engineering applications.

The audiobook opens with an overview of textile engineering and fibre science, then covers the manufacturing of yarn and nonwoven fabrics. Weaving preparation follows. Later chapters deal with textile composite materials, the finishing of textiles and the coating of textiles, giving listeners a complete picture of the field.
