Preface
This book presents recent developments in the area of narrow and smart textiles, presented during the “International Week of Narrow and Smart Textiles 19–23.02.2018” in Mönchengladbach, Germany. The week combines three scientific events—Braiding Colloquium, Narrow Weaving Colloquium, and Smart Textiles Colloquium. Around the event are organized two courses—for patterning in the braiding and multilayer shuttle weaving. More as the half of the presenters on these events are coming directly from the world leading machinery and technology development centers and companies. They as usual are obligated to keep their secrets far from the publicity and do not participate with manuscripts in this book. Nevertheless, this book presents 23 new developments—new machine concepts, solar cells, simulation of light transmitting polymers, new finishes, 3D textiles, and some more, which we hope to be interesting for the readers.
