Handbook of Stretchable and Elastomeric Textiles is a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about elastomeric textiles, including manufacturing techniques, physical properties, processing methods, and in-use care. All types of stretchable textiles are covered, including polymers, fibers, yarns, fabrics and composites. Starting with the fundamentals of the synthesis, properties and processing of elastomeric materials, this book goes on to help the reader choose the most appropriate parameters for manufacturing and processing, as well as the best elastomeric material according to specific end use applications. In general, elastomeric textiles are difficult to handle. During the manufacturing of elastomeric fabric, the handling of yarns is complicated. In addition, the processing stage is also challenging due to the heat sensitivity of the materials that affects how they are dyed, printed, washed and dried. The specific techniques required to produce a successful elastomeric textile have been developed over many years, hence this expertise is hard to come by.

Adeel Zulifqar is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Fabric Manufacturing of the National Textile University, Pakistan. He has approximately 11 years experience of working in textile engineering, which includes industry R&D, as well as university lecturing and academic research. His main areas of expertise are stretchable smart woven fabrics and structures. During his Ph.D. studies, he developed the first ever bi-stretch auxetic woven fabrics using conventional yarns, for which the Hong Kong Polytechnic University has been granted a patent for his research. Dr. Zulifqar has published more than ten scientific papers in refereed journals and wrote five book chapters. Zubair Khaliq is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Polymer Engineering of the National Textile University, Pakistan. Before joining as a lecturer in 2009 he previously worked in industry. He completed his MS leading to Ph.D. in Organic & Nano Engineering from Hanyang University, South Korea in 2016. His research interests include the processing of polymeric materials’ nanostructure through physical and rheological studies. Muhammad Bilal Qadir is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Yarn Manufacturing of the National Textile University, Pakistan. Before joining as a lecturer in 2010 he worked in the textile industry. He completed his Ph.D. in Organic & Nano Engineering from Hanyang University, South Korea in 2016.
