The action of friction in fibres and textiles plays major roles in product performance, from the generation of the fibre through to the various ways a garment responds to wear. Friction in Textiles addresses both the beneficial and detrimental processes of friction with chapters on fibre structure, measurement techniques, static electrification, shrink proofing and felting, surface modification treatments, friction in fabrics and fibres and the role it plays in textile processing.
