Overview

The purpose of this book is mainly to guide new entrants in the textile field who would like to supervise and manage the various processes involved. Chemicals and chemical reactions are not discussed however, as the process parameters and chemicals used vary and this needs to be decided by senior technical personnel. This book does however give general guidelines that are applicable for all and which can be used as a guide for training technical staff. It is not possible to list all the value addition processes practiced worldwide in one book, and hence, an attempt is made to collect details of some of the commonly practiced value addition processes, especially for apparel purposes. The functional treatments given for various technical textiles like medical textiles, protective textiles, industrial textiles, agrotech materials, geotextiles, and sport tech, etc are not covered in this book.
