Fiber and textile testing technology is widely applied in various fields of the national economy and national defense science and technology. In the writing of this book, the basic principles of fiber and textile testing are explained from simple to complex in a systematic manner. New testing methods and typical instruments developed domestically and internationally are introduced, making the book both theoretical and practical, with both breadth and depth. Attention is paid to ensuring that the content meets the needs of professionals of different types. This book is a relatively comprehensive textbook on textile testing technology, suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in textile colleges, as well as for professionals in production enterprises, testing centers, inspection institutions, and research units.
China is a major country in textiles and clothing. Developing foreign trade and expanding the domestic market are the responsibilities of textile marketing and foreign trade personnel. To do well in marketing and foreign trade, one must not only understand the domestic and international market conditions but also be familiar with policies, laws, and regulations. Additionally, one must have a solid grasp of textile-related professional knowledge and understand the varieties, specifications, and processing knowledge of fibers, yarns, fabrics, and clothing. This ensures that trade opportunities are not missed or that setbacks in business are avoided.
With this in mind, this book is specifically written for students in foreign trade and marketing majors, as well as for those considering careers in textile foreign trade and commerce. The book is divided into eleven chapters, providing detailed descriptions of the specifications, quality, and quality testing of fibers, yarns, fabrics, and clothing. It also briefly covers processing techniques, pricing, packaging, storage, and transportation.
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for textiles are not only increasing in terms of functions such as insulation, warmth retention, strength, elasticity, windproofing, rainproofing, and sun protection but also in terms of decorative effects and artistic demands. To help textile sales and management personnel understand the artistic requirements of textiles, enhance their artistic knowledge, and improve their artistic cultivation, the chapter on "Clothing" is particularly enriched with artistic content.
