Free Download Turkey Red (Textiles That Changed the World) by Julie Wertz
English | February 22, 2024 | ISBN: 1350216518, 135021650X | True EPUB/PDF | 232 pages | 16.9/410 MB
This multi-disciplinary study examines the exceptional Turkey red textile dyeing process and product. Prized for its brilliant colour and durability, yet notoriously difficult to produce, the textile was consumed locally and exported around the world. Considered one of the first instances of industrial espionage, the expansion of the Turkey red industry is closely linked to the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of a new global economy. Significant technological advances in chemistry and dyeing were motivated by the demands of Turkey red dyers and printers, who were located primarily in the west of Scotland, the north of England, and around Mulhouse, Switzerland.

English | ISBN: 3031354508 | 2023 | 148 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Environmental impacts created by the textiles and fashion sector are well known and acknowledged by various stakeholders involved in the entire supply chain. The lifecycle of textile products creates various impacts to the environment and any attempts to alleviate them are highly welcomed. The whole sector is keen to investigate novel sustainable alternatives in terms of raw materials, processes, approaches to make the entire textiles and fashion sector more sustainable. This broad category of novel sustainable alternatives can be split into three subtopics: novel raw material alternatives, novel process alternative and novel alternative approaches. This volume provides cases describing novel sustainable process alternatives for the textiles and fashion industry.

Free Download Exploring Ancient Textiles: Pushing the Boundaries of Established Methodologies by Alistair Dickey, Margarita Gleba, Sarah Hitchens
English | July 29, 2022 | ISBN: 1789257255 | 176 pages | MOBI | 43 Mb
Over the past 30 years, research on archaeological textiles has developed into an important field of scientific study. It has greatly benefited from interdisciplinary approaches, which combine the application of advanced technological knowledge to ethnographic, textual and experimental investigations. In exploring textiles and textile processing (such as production and exchange) in ancient societies, archaeologists with different types and quality of data have shared their knowledge, thus contributing to well-established methodology. In this book, the papers highlight how researchers have been challenged to adapt or modify these traditional and more recently developed analytical methods to enable extraction of comparable data from often recalcitrant assemblages. Furthermore, they have applied new perspectives and approaches to extend the focus on less investigated aspects and artifacts.

Free Download Circularity in Textiles (Textile Science and Clothing Technology)
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031494784 | 499 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 33 MB
This book explains the basic principles of recycling and circularity in textiles. With the emergence of "quick fashion," textile manufacturing has expanded significantly over the past few decades. The importance of textiles to human society goes beyond their practical uses in providing warmth, protection, and comfort. Therefore, the usage and production of textiles are enhanced substantially compared to the past globally. As a result, rates of textile production and trash output have grown drastically. The other side of the story is the drastic rate at which they are dumped into landfills which is almost a garbage truck every second. If this alarming trend continues, there will be serious environmental consequences. It is well known that the textile sector is recognized as the second largest industrial polluter in the world, producing 20% of the global wastewater and accounting for 10% of carbon emissions. Additionally, harmful chemicals are utilized and emitted during the manufacture of textiles, which has an impact on ecosystems and public health The last 150 years of the textile industrial system fundamentally follow the "take-make-dispose" principle, in which resources are continuously taken out of a natural system (take), changed during production (make), and used for various purposes within the human system (use), and then released back into the environment (dispose of). In this way, manufacturing industries produce waste-producing commodities to make money, which eventually has a negative impact leading to the lack of resources resulting in price volatility, uncertainty, and economic crises. This book consists of 11 potential chapters to cover all the aspects of "circularity in textiles."

Free Download Susan Meller, "Silk and Cotton: Textiles from the Central Asia that Was"
English | 2013 | pages: 336 | ISBN: 1419706748 | EPUB | 280,0 mb
The traditional textiles of Central Asia are unknown treasures. Straddling the legendary Silk Road, this vast region stretches from Russia in the west to China in the east. Whether nomadic or sedentary, its peoples created textiles for every aspect of their way of life, from ceremonial objects marking rites of passage, to everyday garments, to practical items for the home. There were suzanis for the marriage bed; prayer mats; patchwork quilts; bridal ensembles; bags for tea, scissors, and mirrors; lovingly embroidered hats and bibs; and robes of every color and pattern.

Free Download Nanohybrid Materials for Treatment of Textiles Dyes
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819939003 | 863 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 59 MB
This book covers the various aspects of nanohybrid materials and its composites for their application in treatment of toxic textiles dyes for cleaning the environment especially water and wastewater. The book first looks into the various preparation and characterization techniques for nanohybrid materials. The replacement of other conventional materials with highly efficient (high surface area, pore size, and chemical and mechanical strength) nanohybrid materials and their application in the field of environmental purification through treatment of textile dyes is highlighted in the later part of the book. The book caters to students, researchers, and scientists who are working in the field of wastewater treatment for incorporating novel materials to remove toxic textile dyes from contaminated wastewater.
