Coatings and laminates allow for the introduction of smart functionalities for
textile products. They are suitable for a wide range of textile applications and
can contribute to improving product performance. This pioneering book is a
valuable reference and stimulus for developing and improving coated and
laminated textile prcovers the fundamentals of coatings and laminates. Themes
range from coating and laminating processing and production techniques to
testing and quality assurance. Other chapters cover different types of smart
