Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) DIGITAL TEXTILE PRINTING
Book SynopsisThe development of digital textile printing at the end of the twentieth century has had a profound effect on the design, creation, use and understanding of textiles. This new technology - combined with advances in fabric and dye chemistry - has made it possible to produce complex images on fabric comprising millions of colours, quickly, inexpensively and in flexible quantities; a revolution that has led to a rapid increase in demand, which is predicted to rise still further.This book is the first to describe the historical and cultural context from which digital textile printing emerged, and to engage critically with the many issues that it raises: the changing role of the designer in the creation of printed textiles; the ways in which the design process is being transformed by new technology; the relationships between producers, clients and the textile industry; and the impact of digital printing on the wider creative industries. At the core of this study are two key questions: what cTrade ReviewAn in-depth exploration ... For anyone interested in the intellectual and historical associations that can be made between DTP and art practices throughout the ages, it introduces many interesting ideas. * Workshop on the Web *This book provides a welcome overview of digital textile printing, encompassing an insightful investigation of the history and theory of the subject, along with the practice and research it has engendered. A wide-ranging and engaging text that will be of interest to anyone with an interest in this area. * Hilary Carlisle, Dean of Arts and Design at Norwich University of the Arts, UK *Part philosophical inquiry, part case study, Susan Carden's Digital Textile Printing is an attempt to place this artistic process within a research framework while still providing practical instruction and history of technique… Carden describes the artists' and researchers' interests, research questions, and artistic explorations while also detailing their projects and processes… The thirteen page bibliography, listing technical works alongside books by authors ranging from Aristotle to Heidegger, McLuhan to Plato, is a snapshot of the variety of concepts. -- Amy Ballmer * Art Libraries Society of North America Reviews *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgements Foreword 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Felt
Book SynopsisFrom nomads' tents to poodle skirts, from car parts to Christmas tree ornaments, felt is one of the world's oldest and most understated textiles. Felt has developed simultaneously in multiple cultures, and often its origins are lost. However, far from having been supplanted by new fabrics, not only has felt retained its traditional uses among peoples around the world, but it has also seen a revival of popularity among today's hand feltmakers, craftspeople and fashion designers. This book follows the journey of felt through time, space, and purpose by pulling into focus a series of snapshots of different felting traditions. Beautifully illustrated, Felt covers the wide-ranging history and development of this most unassuming but ubiquitous of fabrics from the earliest archaeological evidence in the mountains of Siberia to the groundbreaking works of contemporary fiber arts and sculptors.Trade ReviewIt is pleasing to find a book on felt that is not about crafting quick results, but instead describes a deceptively complex and sophisticated substance, multi-cultured yet culturally specific.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Textile Book
Book SynopsisTextiles are central to our lives and are at the heart of the world's largest industries. In recent years there has been a dynamic shift in attitudes toward textiles, fuelled in part by explosive developments in technology. While textiles have always retained roots in craft and industry, the discipline now embraces a much wider range of practices. Innovations in the industry demand a fresh approach to the subject, which this comprehensive introduction ably supplies. Taking as their starting point the very meaning of textiles, Gale and Kaur go on to show the astonishing range of opportunities for careers in the field, from the creative (artists, craftspeople and designers) to the social and industrial, to the commercial and associated practices (buyers, journalists, researchers and scientists). The Textile Book takes us behind the scenes with professionals to reveal what various jobs involve, what influences decision makers, and how their decisions affect what we buy next season. What happens to clothes before they reach the shops? What determines the 'must have' item? How can recycled bottles be transformed into silk-like yarns? These and many other questions are explored to show the diversity that makes up the contemporary global textile scene. Woven, printed, embroidered, knitted -- textiles are pivotal to the everyday experience of people in all parts of the world. This wide-ranging and informative book conveys the excitement and new challenges textiles represent and is essential reading for anyone working with, studying or simply interested in textiles.Trade Review'Although the authors planned this book as a text/reference book, I recommend reading every page ... a valuable authority that provides an historical and global view of the past, present, and future of textiles.' Handwoven 'Essential reading for anyone considering a career in textiles.' Embroidery Magazine 'The Textile book takes a compelling and very broad look at a myriad of aspects of fabrics and the humans using them...the authors seem to have tapped not only solid history, but a good deal of the most up-to-date information, including 'smart fabrics'...this subject, and its treatment in this book, is food for a lot of thought, discussion, and research.' Costume Journal 'Those studying textiles and the general public should find this book very useful.' Choice 'Upper division or graduate students as well as professionals in our field would certainly benefit from the content information of The Textile Book. More importantly, those in the textile community who read it, will be encouraged to engage in broad discourse that the subject deserves in order to better ensure the subject's future as an academic discipline.'

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Dry Mineral Processing
Book SynopsisThis book introduces and explains all existing dry processing methods, drawing from larges studies about these techniques in both the academia and industrial sectors. Potentially, water insufficiency is one of the critical issues that could be the major cause of international conflicts. Thus, reducing water consumption and pollution in all industrial sectors is an essential issue for all countries. As a main part of the mining industry, ore processing plants are highly dependent on water, and water scarcity poses significant risk to the industry. Thus, water consumption is a strategic issue for mineral processing plants, particularly in dry climate countries. To select dry or wet processing, the differences between these conditions should be taken into consideration, which needs an in-depth understanding of the various possible methods. This book will be of interest to professionals and researchers.Table of ContentsSensor-Based Separation.- Grinding.- Electrostatic Separation.- Gravity Separation.- - Magnetic Separation.- Mixed Methods.

De Gruyter Scale-Up Processes: Iterative Methods for the Chemical, Mineral and Biological Industries
Book SynopsisCommon scale-up methods are conventional where the blind piloting is essential. This imposes huge investment and leads to failures mostly in solid processing. However, the limitations of resources, current shortcomings, short time-to-market demand are forced companies to minimize piloting. With these situations in mind, current digitalization outlook and computational facilities, we proposed and developed a novel iterative scale up method with case studies which highly expedites the process innovation through the following key sequences:
