Unfortunately, the classical empirical friction laws do not hold true for fibrous and viscoelastic materials comprising most of the textile fibres. In the second half of the twentieth century, fibre surfaces have been studied by many distinguished scientists who were able to complete numerous researches for the frictional characteristics of different types of fibres. Most of the researchers have aimed to develop a new test method and a test device that can be used to measure the frictional characteristics of fibres quickly, accurately and easily in their studies. Unfortunately, there is...

Volume 43 of Group III deals with crystallographic data of both intermetallic and classical inorganic compounds. It thus forms an update of the former Landolt-Bornstein volumes III/6 (Structure Data of Elements and Intermetallic Phases) and III/7 (Crystal Structure Data of Inorganic Compounds). It does not include compounds that contain C-H bonds. In contrast to the earlier edition the present volume presents the data in a more modern arrangement.

The book is about calorimetry and thermal analysis methods, alone or linked to other techniques, as applied to the characterization of catalysts, supports and adsorbents, and to the study of catalytic reactions in various domains: air and wastewater treatment, clean and renewable energies, refining of hydrocarbons, green chemistry, hydrogen production and storage. The book is intended to fill the gap between the basic thermodynamic and kinetics concepts acquired bystudents during their academic formation, and the use of experimental techniques such as thermal analysis and calorimetry to...

Volume 40.3 of the journal Textiles Progress, this book describes advanced technical textiles products according to the application fields of the fiber materials. Although it does not cover all of the end-uses, the book contains major parts of advanced technical textile products, including products for resources and environmental issues, automobiles, medical and protective uses, information technologies, civil engineering, and electronics textiles.

Production and quality can be significantly impacted if improper selection or inadequate maintenance of temperature and humidity measures. Based on the authors 38 years in the textile industry, this book explains the principles adopted in different humidification plants and their adoption. The author translates his experience working as technician dealing with the problems of humidification it into a comprehensive, authoritative guide.

Discovered in the twentieth century, carbon nanotubes (CNT) were an integral part of science and industry by the beginning of the twenty first century, revolutionizing chemistry, physics, and materials science. More recent advances in carbon nanotube production methods have resulted in a tremendous push to incorporate CNTs into polymer matrices. Although many advances have been made, two major obstacles continue unresolved: the enhancement of interfacial adhesion between CNTs and polymer matrix, and the improvement of dispersion of CNTs in polymers.

Both substantial...
