We know that sustainability has become an important topic in every aspect of life. The textile, fashion, and material industries must also be sustainable, which could be imparted in their development, production, or even marketing. The textile industry has a huge market, as clothing is arguably the most important human need after food. Recently, this industry has been labeled as a polluting industry, a label that could be overcome by the proper development of textile goods and careful marketing strategies. There are specific roles that government, entrepreneurs, and even universities can play in properly educating people to make the textile industry cleaner and greener. Several journals focus only on one of the aspects of this key problem, i.e., the production of sustainable materials, textile education, or textile marketing. However, herein, we strive to bring different areas together on one platform to cover different aspects, i.e., production, policy education, and marketing related to textile fashion and textile materials.

In this book in your hands, the relationship between the textile and leather sectors, and the environment is examined from many viewpoints. The book contains many different subjects, from sustainability in the textile and leather sectors to the effect of historical textiles on human health. It will be interesting for readers from many disciplines in science.I thank all the authors contributing to the book and I hope that it will be helpful to the readers.

Prato, petite ville toscane proche de Florence, est l’un des prototypes les plus connus des districts industriels italiens qui ont soutenu le dynamisme économique de la Péninsule dans l’après-guerre grâce à leur réseau dense et diversifié de micro-entreprises. Economistes et sociologues se sont naturellement intéressés à cette organisation industrielle alternative au modèle fordiste qui continue à vivifier l’économie italienne à l’heure de la globalisation. Mais les historiens de l’industrialisation, qui ont longtemps insisté sur le retard de la Péninsule par rapport au modèle anglais, ont eu tendance à envisager l’éclosion rapide après 1945 d’une nouvelle industrie dans une zone considérée jusque-là archaïque comme un « miracle ». Or, le miracle a une histoire qui le rend à la fois possible mais aussi un peu moins surprenant. Grâce à une enquête fondée sur les archives des corporations et de l’Etat, les papiers de notaires, les correspondances privées, ce livre retrace le parcours industriel de la ville à partir du nouvel élan des activités textiles au 18e siècle. Acteurs du dynamisme, les entrepreneurs pratésiens : aidés plus que freinés dans l’organisation de la production et du territoire par les institutions locales, ils réussissent à mobiliser une main d’œuvre qui ne rechigne pas trop à changer de fabrication. Pour faire face aux multiples incertitudes de leur situation, grands et petits fabricants, artisans de la finition sont en effet à la recherche constante de nouveaux marchés et sont prompts pour cela à varier leurs productions : aptes à faire de la qualité, ils sont décidés à produire de tout pourvu qu’ils trouvent acheteurs. Prêts à adopter l’innovation sans renier la tradition dans la gestion des entreprises comme dans les modes de production, espionnant sans relâche et copiant sans vergogne, ces entrepreneurs sont enclins au progrès technique tout en reconnaissant les vertus du bricolage. C’est ce patrimoine d’expériences individuelles et…

The direction of fiber orientation plays a crucial role in deciding the mechanical performance of textile structural composites. Unlike conventional composite materials, geometrically oriented textile structures, e.g., woven, knitted, and braided constructions, can be designed and developed for load bearing in a particular direction. Their properties can be enhanced by modifying the geometry and material composition. One major challenge in producing textile structural composites with superior mechanical properties at a reasonably lower price is cost effective prepreg. Composites constructed from reinforcement having a well-defined geometry perform better than randomly oriented fibers at a reasonable cost. Their flex fatigue is superior to conventional preforms in specific applications. This Special Issue invites research as well as review articles dealing with different types of (2D, 3D, multiaxial) woven, knitted, and braided structures for load bearing structural composite applications. Use of industrial multifilament yarns of pure and hybrid composition in textile geometrical reinforcement structures can also be included. The methods of impregnation of such structures by thermoplastic and thermoset resins should be described. The superior performance in such structural composites must be highlighted. Methods of characterizing woven, knitted, and braided textile reinforced composites is the focus of this issue. Current and future applications of advanced textile structural composites can be summarized in the submitted articles. Theoretical (computational, numerical simulation etc.) as well as experimental work can be submitted with sufficient scientific innovation.
