Volume 40.4 of the journal Textile Progress , this book reviews textile-structured electrodes, interactive textile devices, for wearable electrocardiogram (ECG). It describes the human cardiac bioelectricity signal using mechanism and acquisition methods by commercial medical electrodes and textile-based electrodes, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of these types of electrodes. The text also discusses the conduction of ECG signal within the human body through skin-electrode interface and in electrodes. It presents the designing principles of textile electrodes based on the performance requirements of electrodes and includes a new evaluation system of textile electrodes. • Textile Progress Industrial Textiles Reference

Weaving of 3D Fabrics 'A Critical Appreciation of the Developments'
This book, volume 41.1 of the journal Textile Progress , critically reviews the various developments that have taken place in weaving 3D fabrics. It explains how fabrics can be woven with different structures and profiles to fit specific requirements for a variety of end-use applications. The text highlights the unique features of each method and points out the major differences between the 2D and 3D methods of weaving, including the use of 3D fabrics in technical applications. It also explores how methods have evolved for producing 3D fabrics to be used as advanced composite performs as well as a bifurcated vascular prosthesis. • Political Geography Industrial Textiles Reference

Physical Principles of Electrospinning (Electrospinning as a Nano-Scale Technology of the Twenty-Fir
After introducing the history and process of electrospinning, this book, Volume 41.2 of the journal Textiles Progress , highlights the self-organization of fluid in electrospinning. It then describes the jet path and its possible control by special collectors and spinning electrodes. The authors also discuss two electrospinning variants (melt and core-shell electrospinning) as well as two exceptional features of electrospinning (electric wind and accompanying irradiations). The book concludes with a discussion on the quality of polymeric solutions for electrospinning from the standpoint of Hansen solubility parameters and entanglements among polymeric chains. • Textile Progress Industrial Textiles Reference
