Description

Although cotton has been overtaken by some manmade fibres in its share of the textiles market, the increase in demand for sustainable resources means that it remains a key fibre in the textiles industry. This important book summarises the key scientific and technological issues in ensuring cotton quality. Part 1 reviews the chemical and physical properties of cotton and how they determine cotton fibre quality. Part 2 discusses the key stages in cotton production from cultivation and harvesting to spinning, knitting and weaving. Building on these foundations, Part 3 reviews quality and other issues such as testing yarn and fabric quality, cost control in the industry and recycling. Key Features: summarises key scientific and technological issues in ensuring cotton quality; discusses the fundamental chemical and physical structure of cotton; individual chapters focus on spinning, knitting and weaving technologies; an essential reference for all those concerned with the manufacture and quality control of cotton. Contents: Part 1 The structure and properties of cotton: Chemical structure and properties of cotton; Physical structure and properties of cotton; Cotton fibre quality. Part 2 Production processes for cotton: The genetic modification of cotton; The production of organic cotton; The harvesting and ginning of cotton; The opening, blending, cleaning and carding of cotton; Cotton spinning technology; Cotton knitting technology; Cotton weaving technology; Dyeing cotton and cotton products. Part 3 Quality and other issues: Testing cotton yarns and fabrics; Controlling costs in cotton production; Health and safety issues in cotton production; Recycling of cotton; Nonwoven technology for cotton.
