The section of "Industrial Applications of Textiles" focuses on various aspects of fibre-reinforced composites and the usage of inorganic fibers in industrial applications. It is reported that for high-performance structures, the fibres employed are usually either carbon or glass embedded in a suitable resin. Though epoxide, polyester, phenolic, polyphenylene, and polyimide resins are extensively used in industries, these impose a temperature limitation in service. Information on extensive use of carbon fibres and moulding techniques has also been provided.
