While the original edition of Coated Textiles brought together much of the interdisciplinary information scattered throughout the literature, recent advances have made a second edition essential to provide needed information for those looking to develop the latest textiles. This revision looks at contributions made by nanotechnology and includes developments in waterproof and breathable fabrics, as well as updated information on airbag fabrics, lamination covering methods, temperature-adaptable clothing, and a host of other topics, including coated fabrics for the military, a multibillion dollar industry.

Polymeric Materials for Coating, Textile Substrate for Coated Fabrics, Coating Methods, Physical Properties of Coated Fabrics, Rheology of Coating, Waterproof Breathable Fabrics, Non-apparel Coating, Coating with Functional Materials, Test Methods.
