Procédés textiles : la place de la rhéologie.

The various stages of transformation of the textile material involve non Newtonian fluids. The knowledge of their rheological properties is of great importance to control the efficiency of the process. Two examples in the field of finishing are considered in this paper: the blade coating and the printing of fabrics. The results contribute to a better understanding of process where complex formulated fluids are used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
