Textiles
• Textiles can be derived from several sources: animals, plants
and minerals are the traditional sources of materials
• Petroleum-derived synthetic fibers were introduced in the
mid-20th century.
• Animal textiles are the most prevalent in human society
• Plant textiles, the most common being cotton, can also be
made from straw, grass and bamboo.
• Mineral textiles include glass fiber, metal fiber and asbestos.
• The recent introduction of synthetic textiles has greatly
expanded the array of options available for fabric
manufacturers, both in terms of garment versatility and
usability.
History of Nylon
• Synthetic fabric that was invented in 1938 by
Wallace Carothers
• Direct result of WWII – parachutes were originally
silk
• The term “nylon” is a generic descriptor for the
family of synthetic polymers known as polyamides
• Used in the 91940s for stockings and tooth brushes
• Now today used in many things such as guitar
strings, tooth brushes and carpets
Recent Methods for Making Textiles Today
• Weaving
• Knitting
• Interlacing
• Lacing
• Felting
Today
• By the 14th century, fabrics were being woven on
the hand looms of the Mediterranean countries
in practically all the basic structures known to
modern artisans
• No change in fundamental processes since that
time
• Ways to manufacture textiles that have not
changed: plain weave, satin weave and twill
• Equipment and machines have sped production
up
