The high-modulus, high-tenacity (HM-HT) fibres fall naturally into three groups – polymer fibres such as aramids and polyethylene fibres carbon fibres such as Kevlar and inorganic fibres based on glass and ceramic fibres. High-performance fibres (1 85573 539 3) This important handbook looks at how high-performance fibres are designed and manufactured and covers their capabilities and applications. It examines the background to smart technology, and goes on to cover a wide range of the material and fibre science aspects of the technology. The contributors represent a distinguished international panel of experts and the book covers many aspects of cutting edge research and development. Smart fibres, fabrics and clothing (1 85573 546 6) This important book provides a guide to the fundamentals and latest developments in smart technology for textiles and clothing. New chapters deal with ‘Fibers for the next millennium’, and examine the resurgence of synthetic cellulosics since 1990, in particular the various solvent-spun fibers of the Lyocell and Tencel families. New fibers 2nd edn (1 85573 334 X) Since the first edition of New fibers was published in 1990, new research and development has produced fibers with high tenacity and modulus resulting in the super-fibers now used as industrial materials. A team of distinguished international experts consider the technical materials and processes that will facilitate all these new applications. Related titles from Woodhead’s textile technology list: Wearable electronics and photonics (1 85573 605 5) Building electronics into clothing is a major new concept, which opens up a whole array of multi-functional, wearable electro-textiles for sensing/monitoring body functions, delivering communication facilities, data transfer, individual environment control, and many other applications.
