Texturing is increasingly important in textile production, not only in yarns for weaving and knitting fashion products, but also for carpets, furnishing fabrics and a variety of technical textiles. This book covers all the major techniques including twist-texturing, jet-screeen texturing, false-twist process, BCF processes and air-jet texturingare in detail. Combining a comprehensive review of the physics and chemistry of texturing with a thorough, illustrated description of current practice, this book is invaluable for yarn and fabric manufacturers, textile scientists and students on textile science and technology courses.
