- Buchangaben: 2. Auflage, 01/2015
457 Seiten, Fester Einband
The book covers all processing steps for the manufacturing of textiles, describing materials, processes and machines, finishing, making-up, and recycling. To provide a better understanding of the individual textile processes, each chapter ends with an example describing the respective processing steps for a specific textile product. In addition, current and future development trends are discussed.
The second edition is brought up to date with extensive coverage of new developments, such as in the fields of testing, measurement, and simulation.
