Textile fibre spinning: Advances in technology

Edited by C A Lawrence, University of Leeds, UK

Woodhead Textiles Series No. 99

This book provides an invaluable single source of information on the new advances in fibre spinning technologies. These advanced spinning systems produce yarns and therefore end-products, with often a more superior quality, compared to conventional systems. Part 1 provides the reader with an introduction to spinning including the fundamental principles of spinning fibres. Part 2 reviews the major technological advances in both conventional spinning methods. Chapters include siro spinning, compact spinning technology and air-jet spinning. Part 3 covers how to improve yarn performance. An important text for all those involved in the manufacture and use of fibres.
