Advanced Research into Wool Science and Technology.DUBLIN Dublin, city, Republic of Ireland Dublin, Irish Baile Átha Cliath, county borough (1991 pop. 915,516), Leinster, capital of the Republic of Ireland, on Dublin Bay at the mouth of the Liffey River. , Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f2667d/advances_in_wool_t) has announced the addition of the "Advances in Wool Technology" report to their offering. Wool is increasingly being seen as a high performance fibre, with new modifications and applications. Advances in wool technology presents a comprehensive account of these developments and innovations. Part one includes advances that have occurred in the production and processing of wool. Topics range from the progress in wool spinning, weaving weaving, the art of forming a fabric by interlacing at right angles two or more sets of yarn or other material. It is one of the most ancient fundamental arts, as indicated by archaeological evidence. and colouration Noun 1. colouration - the timbre of a musical sound; "the recording fails to capture the true color of the original music" coloration, color, colour , to environmental supply chain management and to the role of genetic engineering in improved wool production. Part two reviews new wool products and applications. Chapters include the production of brighter and whiter wool, high performance wool blends and wool for apparel. With its two distinguished editors and array of international contributors, this book will be a valuable reference for producers, manufacturers, retailers and all those wishing to improve and understand developments in wool technology. It will also be suitable for researchers in industry or academia. Key Topics Covered: - Improvement of wool quality through genetic engineering - The objective measurement of wool fibre quality - Wool as a natural renewable fibre - Advances in wool spinning technology - Advances in wool weaving and knitting knitting, construction of a fabric made of interlocking loops of yarn by means of needles. Knitting, allied in origin to weaving and to the netting and knotting of fishnets and snares, was apparently unknown in Europe before the 15th cent. - Advances in the manufacture of nonwoven non·wo·ven adj. Made by a process not involving weaving. Used of textiles. n. Material or a fabric made by a process not involving weaving. wool - Wool finishing and the development of novel finishes - The coloration col·or·a·tion n. 1. Arrangement of colors. 2. The sum of the beliefs or principles of a person, group, or institution. of wool - Improving the whiteness and photostability of wool - Enhancing wool products using nanotechnology nanotechnology: see micromechanics. nanotechnology Manipulation of atoms, molecules, and materials to form structures on the scale of nanometres (billionths of a metre). - Wool performance apparel for sport - High-performance wool blends - Intelligent wool apparel - Application of wool keratins ranging from industrial materials to medical devices For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f2667d/advances_in_wool_t |
