The Authoritative Book Friction in Textile Materials

The Authoritative Book ‘ Friction in Wool Textile Materials’ Will Be a Standard Reference for the Textile Industry and ThoseResearching This Important Topic DUBLIN, Ireland--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c94089 ) has announced the addition of Friction In Textile Materials totheir offering. Friction is a major issue in both the production of textiles and inthe finished product. This authoritative book reviews how frictionoccurs and the ways it can be measured and controlled. The book begins by looking at how friction can be defined and howthe structure and properties of textile fibres lead to frictionbehaviour. It also discusses slip-stick phenomena in textiles andways of measuring friction in yarns and fabric. The second part ofthe book reviews friction in particular textiles, including cotton,wool and synthetic fibres as well as woven fabrics. These and otherchapters also discuss ways of controlling friction, includingfabric finishes and lubricants. With its distinguished editor and contributions from some of theworld ’ s leading authorities in the subject, Friction in textile materialswill be a standard reference for the textile industry and thoseresearching this important topic.
