Spesso considerati “i più barbari fra i barbari”, i Longobardi vantano in realtà una delle civiltà più ricche e complesse dell'Età delle Migrazioni, capace di tramandare raffinati tesori culturali ed artistici, così come straordinarie tecniche artigianali. Questo saggio vuole porre l'attenzione...

Dal fascino della seta, affiancato dal delicato suono dei fuurin, nascono tutti questi manufatti dipinti a mano. Partendo dalla meditazione che un haiku o uno waka suggeriscono i pennelli scorrono trasferendo sul tessuto le emozioni dell'anima. Ogni dipinto e’ unico, proprio perche’ ogni emozione...

Inorganic and Composite Fibers: Production, Properties, and Applications provides a comprehensive review on the development, production and application of modern inorganic and composite fibers. Particular emphasis is placed on current production processes, parameters and finishing and functionalization...

Advanced bionanocomposite materials continue to be increasingly popular and are important for a wide range of scientific and engineering applications. In the race to exploit the unique mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of bionanocomposite materials, researchers need to address new challenges...

This brief explores polysaccharides, the most abundant family of naturally occurring polymers, and explains how they have gained considerable attention in recent decades as a source of innovative bio-based materials.  The authors present a range of material including an extensive array of...

First Published in 1995. The three most important things to evaluate when selecting Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC) are: evidence of degradation of the garment exposed to a chemical; breakthrough time; and permeation rate. Because proper CPC selection must be based on permeation and degradation...

In the textile industry, there is a pressing need for people who can facilitate the translation of creative solutions from designers into manufacturing language and data. The design technologist has to understand the elements and principles employed by designers and how these change for various textile...

The field of fibre rope technology has witnessed incredible change and technological advance over the last few decades. At the forefront of this change has been the development of synthetic fibres and modern types of rope construction. This handbook updates the history and structural mechanics of...

The efficient design of microwave food products and associated packaging materials for optimum food quality and safety requires knowledge of product dielectric properties and associated heating mechanisms, careful consideration of product geometry, knowledge of modern packaging and ingredient technologies,...

Elastomeric components are widely used in engineering. Increasing demands are placed on them to withstand hostile conditions such as high temperature and corrosive environments. These demands make it harder to predict likely service life or improve design to ensure their longer-term performance. This...
