Sustainability in Denim provides the latest information on sustainable fabrics and practices. From cotton farming, to manufacture and end of life disposal, denim has extensive effects on the environment, inclusive of water consumption and contamination, destruction of large-scale ecosystems and transportation pollution. Additionally, recent developments in the manufacture of denim, such as the use of textiles, including elastane and polyester, have led to limitations in the high end recycling of denim.

This book includes an introduction covering the history, manufacture and...

Thermosets: Structure, Properties and Applications, Second Edition, reviews both factors affecting thermoset properties and how this understanding can be used to engineer thermosets for particular uses.

The book builds on, and updates, the existing review of mechanical and thermal properties, the use of chemorheology to characterize and model thermoset flow behavior, and the role of nanostructures in thermoset toughening. All chapters have been reviewed and updated, and new chapters have been added to reflect ongoing changes and developments in the field of thermosetting...

Advances in Carpet Manufacture, Second Edition, discusses the manufacture of carpets, an industry that has evolved over hundreds of years, also exploring the new changes and developments in textile science and manufacturing technology that occur every day. This updated edition provides revised, expanded and updated coverage of carpet manufacturing processes and applications.

The book begins by reviewing the different types of carpets and their applications, also exploring the structure and properties of carpet materials. Carpet manufacturing techniques are then reviewed,...

Micro and Nano Fibrillar Composites (MFCs and NFCs) from Polymer Blends is a comprehensive reference for researchers, students and scientists working in the field of plastics recycling and composites. The book aims to determine the influence of micro and nanofibrillar morphology on the properties of immiscible blend systems.

Chapters cover micro and nanofibrillar composites based on polyolefin, liquid crystal polymer, biodegradable polymers, polyester and polyamide blends in various industrial application fields. The book brings together panels of highly-accomplished experts...

Cost Management in Plastics Processing: Strategies, Targets, Techniques, and Tools, Fourth Edition, makes readers think about current practices and how to go forward with effective cost management. This is a practical workbook that provides a structured approach to reducing costs in plastics processing for all the major plastics shaping processes (moulding, extrusion, forming) as well as elsewhere in the company (e.g., in factory services and non-manufacturing areas).

Competition in all manufacturing sectors is increasing, and there is continuous pressure to drive costs down...

Sustainable Fibres and Textiles provides a whole-lifecycle approach to the subject of sustainable textiles, from fiber production, through manufacturing and low-energy care and recycling. The scientific, industrial, regulatory and social aspects of this lifecycle are explored by an expert author team who bring global perspectives to this important subject.

The first part of the book provides detailed coverage of the sustainable production of textiles, with chapters devoted to each of the main fiber types, including new biosynthetic fibers, such as textiles produced from...

This first volume on detox fashion discusses various interesting topics including a Toxic-Free Supply Chain for Textiles and Clothing; Environmental Issues in Textiles; Global Regulations, Restrictions & Research; Making the Change: Consumer Adoption of Sustainable Fashion; and Strategies for Detoxing Your Wardrobe. It provides an overview of the chemical-related issues confronting the fashion sector, summarizes global regulations, and discusses how to make the change by changing consumers' attitude towards adopting sustainable fashion, as well as the best strategies for detoxing our...

This third volume on Detox Fashion highlights sustainable waste water treatment methods, techniques, and adoption of detox strategies by different brands in the textile sector. Three interesting chapters enumerate this in third volume: Sustainable Waste water Treatment Technologies, Review of utilization of plant-based natural coagulants as alternatives to textile wastewater treatment and new waste management through collaborative business models for sustainable innovation.​

This fourth volume on detox fashion focuses on case studies, which are essential to showcase how practical applications have been accomplished, and provide an opportunity for others to (learn about and) adopt the best practices, challenges and practical implications. The book consists of three core chapters: Detoxifying the Supply Chain: Slow Production Networks in South-East European Garment Factories; Detoxifying the Luxury and Fashion Industry: The Case of Market-driving Brands; and Detox My Fashion under Mission 2020--Case Studies from Different Brands.

This second volume on detox fashion covers five key aspects relevant to the topic sustainable chemistry and wet processes: Sustainable Chemicals: A Model for Practical Substitution; Sustainable Wet Processing; Coloration and Functional Finishing of Cotton with Plant Extracts; Call for an Environmental Impact Assessment of Bio-based Dyeing--an Overview; and Enzymes: Biocatalysts for Cleaning Up the Textile and Apparel Sector. The book also presents interesting solutions at the level of the supply chain with regard to sustainable chemistry and wet processes.

Since its introduction in 1980, air jet spinning has offered yarn manufacturers the opportunity to produce yarn at relatively high production rates. Unlike other spinning methods in which productivity is limited by the amount of twist in the yarn, air jet yarns, in general, can be produced at the same production rate regardless of yarn counts. Vortex spinning machines excel at producing finer yarns (Ne 40/1-60/1), because of the improved strength imparted to the smaller fiber bundle.

With the development in science and technology we have learned to make items that are environmentally and socially responsible. One of the examples of this is Lyocell, made of wood pulp in an amine oxide solvent system. Lyocell have an economically friendly spinning technology. The solvent used can be recovered by more than 99.5% and can be recycled. Beside this it exhibits unique and desirable properties such as good dry and wet strength, drapeability, lusture, shrink, resistant etc. Fabrics made from Lyocell 'breathe' making them very comfortable to wear. Innovative fibres present new...
