The textile industry is one of the oldest industries in the world. Although some people think that it is a "sunset" industry, it is clear that no one can live without the products from this industry. Textile products are playing an essential role not only in our everyday life but also in the fields of medical treatment, engineering, and aerospace technology.
It is a commonly held belief that a country should develop its industries according to its competitive advantages and it is the same for the textile industry. The textile industry in some developed countries has tended towards capital- intensive industry whereas in developing countries the industry is labour-intensive one. Such a tendency, no doubt, has greatly promoted the development of textile international trade.
Communication and information are most important for the international textile business. Although in todays world there are many means of communication and ways to search for information, language is still of the utmost importance.
English is the principal language in international trade and for anyone involved in the textile business, it is almost essential to know many specialized textile terms in English.
Therefore the purpose of this book is to provide readers with a fundamental insight into fibres, yarns and fabrics, and, in doing so, introduce them to many specialized textile terms in both English and Chinese.
It is envisaged that this book will serve as a suitable textbook for students majoring in textiles as well as students majoring in international trade who are intending to become involved in textile manufacture.
