With the growth of applications of textiles in various multidisciplinary domains e.g., clothing, home textiles, and technical applications, there is a need of book covering fundamentals of textiles. This introductory-level textbook is geared toward the introduction of textile engineering. This book is beneficial for all readers who are going to start their career in textiles or related domains or are going to start an engineering degree in textiles.

Natural fiber composites are a preferred alternative to conventional composites due to their environment-friendly nature. However, their market share is limited due to: a) limited number and quantities of natural fibers available for composites, b) diversity in fibers structure, c) poor mechanical properties of fibers as well as composites, d) susceptibility to microbial attacks, and e) cellulose degradation temperature around 200 deg C, which hinders the development of natural fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites using thermoforming at high temperatures. A number of researchers have contributed to the solution of the problem of poor mechanical properties and issues related to fabrication during the last decade. This book covers these different solutions. The book is divided into two principal themes: a) structure-property relationship: fibers to composites-it includes the discussion on fibers, their surface modifications, variation in the structure of reinforcement, and approaches for the enhancement of properties. b) Fabrication process of composites-it includes the novel approaches used for the development of natural fiber composites using the commingling technique for thermoplastic composites.

This book provides insight on designs used for the production of woven and knitted fabrics, describing the effect of fabric design on a fabric's properties and showing techniques to draw designs for use on weaving and knitting machines.
