Journal
of Textile and Apparel Technology and Management
Forthcoming Issue on
“The Way Ahead: Transportation Materials for the Future”
The
textile sector has been dramatically transformed
in recent years by changing market needs, new
technology and globalization. In this climate
of continuous change and increasing competition,
suppliers to the transportation industry (automobile,
bus/mass transit, aviation) are striving to
meet the needs of their customers with an increased
emphasis on the design and development of new
innovative textile products.
The
forthcoming issue of the Journal of Textile
and Apparel, Technology and Management (JTATM;
targeted launch January 15, 2004) will focus
on “The Way Ahead: Transportation Materials
for the Future.” This issue of JTATM
will provide a collection of articles on new
transportation textile products, including
product research as well as process information
(product design, product development) and automotive
supply chain issues. These articles will bring
together the current thrusts of academic and
industry inquiry to provide information for
future product needs and directions.
Manuscripts, conceptual and empirical, which broaden and
deepen understanding of new transportation textile product
development, process, and supply chain are invited. Papers
that significantly contribute to the development of new textiles
by emphasizing managerial implications and/or highlighting
avenues of future research are also welcome.
Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:
· Environmental
issues – QS 14001, recyclability, use
of new fibers such as kenaf
· New transportation textile products --- including diverse end uses in
automotive, bus/mass transit, and aviation (including military, security, space
programs)
· Textile processes, focusing on product design and development for all
transportation textiles
· Three dimensional preform composites including knit, woven and non woven
textiles
· Transportation textile product concept research
· New transportation textile product opportunities
· Transportation textile supply chain
· Enhancing the interior environment through textile products– comfort,
noise reduction, infotainment and electro-textiles
· Color issues, including concept, color development, technologies, color
history, market feasibility
· Transportation markets and consumer preferences as related to interior
and performance fabrics
Authors are encouraged to discuss paper ideas with Professor
Nancy Powell as well as other members of the JTATM Managing
Editorial Board. Manuscripts should conform to the guidelines
of the JTATM (http://www.tx.ncsu.edu/jtatm).
Papers should be submitted on or before November
15, 2003 to:
