MTX 563 - Fibrous Structure

three credits
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. Note: Textiles graduate courses are not open to undergraduates. See the Graduate Catalogue for graduate general and program requirements.
