has announced the addition of the "Textile Advances in the Automotive
Industry" report to their offering.

Automotive textiles represent one of the most valuable
international markets for technical textiles. Textile advances in the
automotive industry provides an in-depth review of the design and
development of automotive textiles and the recent advances made in
technical textiles for a variety of automotive applications.

Part one discusses issues such as automotive textile requirements
from a car producer's perspective, mapping the automotive textile
supply chain, advances in textile fabrics including nonwoven fabrics,
and recycling issues. Part two focuses on automotive interiors with
chapters on performance and style of interior textiles, materials and
design for car seats, and the reduction of interior noise in vehicles.
Part three discusses the important safety applications of automotive
textiles, including airbags and tyres. Part four concludes by
assessing how textiles can be used in automotive bodywork.
