MTX 563 - Fibrous Structure

Credits 3
The molecular structure and arrangements of molecules in fibers are considered with respect to giving a foundation to the understanding of the physical and mechanical properties and behavior of textile raw materials. The properties are examined from a fundamental viewpoint so that a sound approach to the technological utilization of fibers in textiles can be established. An introduction is made to the interrelation between fiber properties and yarn and fabric geometry in determining the behavior of textiles.
