LANCASTER, Pa. – DEStech Publications, Inc. announced the availability of five textile books written for professionals and students of textile sciences.

 

The first two titles are specifically written as professional references, but can be adapted as a text useful in university curriculums. The last three titles are written as textbooks and maintain their usefulness as professional references post-graduation.

 

Fundamentals of Electrospinning & Electrospun Nanofibers by Tong Lin and Dr. Jian Fang, explains the workings, quantitative specifications and set-up of virtually all formation technologies, including solvent and solvent-free, as well as needle and needleless spinning methods for nanofibers made from polymers, carbon and other materials.

 

Engineering Fundamentals of Ring Spinning/Twisting, Over-end Unwinding and Two-for-One Twisting in Textile Processes by Subhash Batra and W. Barrie Fraser, analyzes three processes for textile production: O-ring spinning, unwinding and twisting, while detailing the dynamics of ballooning yarns, instabilities due to acceleration and the many interacting parameters that affect tension.

 

Introduction to Nonwovens Technology by Subhash Batra and Behnam Pourdeyhimi, provides a systematic step-by-step explanation of virtually all processes that integrate relevant raw materials into finished nonwovens for different end uses.

 

Fundamentals of Fiber Science by Xiangwu Zhang, provides the basic chemical and mathematical theory needed to understand and modify the connections among the structure, formation and properties of many different types of manmade and natural fibers.

 

An Introduction to Healthcare and Medical Textiles by Wen Zhong, moves systematically from the fundamentals of textile materials and their fabrication through biocompatibility and biodegradability to the applications of textiles in healthcare, ranging from hygiene to wound care, grafts and implantables.

 

These titles can be purchased on the DEStech website at www.destechpub.com under the subject heading “Textiles.” Professors interested in reviewing one of the textbooks for possible adoption into their curriculum may also request access to a free 180-day digital exam copy of the textbook of their choice to determine its viability in their course(s).
