PREFACE
In recent years, improvements in production technology for cotton yarn
have led to great increases in production rates. Cotton fiber is the most
important natural fiber in the world and the essential cellulosic source.
Cotton fibers represent one of the most widely used textile resources on the
world market, with a market share of around 50%, mainly for clothing and
textile products. The quality and therefore the origin of the fibers
significantly influence its market value and the quality grade of the products
obtained. In this context, where competition with other fibers is affected by
innovations and the marketing of other fibers, in particular, synthetic fibers
(polyesters and nylons), elastomers (spandex) and artificial fibers (lyocell),
the research conducted in this field have significantly increased the
functional potential of these supports. Fundamental understanding of fibers
(structural formation during development, chemistry, physics), significant
improvement in fiber quality as well as process innovation and product
differentiation are essential to maintaining the inter-fiber competitiveness of
cotton fibers and the share of cotton fibers in world clothing and other textile
markets.
In order to develop effective strategies for improving fiber quality and
textile finishing treatments for the development of higher value-added
products in this competitive sector, research is focused on identifying the
chemical and physical properties and particular qualities of fibers. The
viii Fabien Salaün
relationship between the development of fiber chemistry and fiber structure
and properties has only recently attracted attention.
The objective of « Cotton Fabrics: Preparation, Synthesis and
Applications” book is to present readers with updated information on
existing cotton fabric uses and functionalization treatments, highlighting
detailed inventory, description, characterization and utilization as well as
challenges and perspectives. In the present book, renowned experts and
researchers from academia provide a concise and ut-to-date overview of
different issues regarding the application of cotton and its derivatives for the
development and optimization of textile products. This book is divided in
four different chapters. The first chapter discusses general aspects of cotton
and traditonnal finishing treatments, with particular emphasis on issues
related to the development of new products, comprising an useful
background for the following chapters. Chapter two deals with the wearer-
environment interactions interms of thermal comfort, with a focuss on new
thermal models and more specialy for the mass transfer. Further, chapter
three continues and icomplements the previous ones by discussing in detail
specific applications of cotton fabrics in flame retardant field. The last
chapter is devoted to a new explorating way to fnctionnalize cotton susbtarte
by chemical grafting.
This book should be a comprehensive reading source for textile research
community and students to gather important information on worldwide
cotton functionalization processes.
