Fabric pilling is considered a performance and aesthetic property of the woven products that determine its quality. The subjective evaluation of the fabric pilling results in misleading values that depend on the measurement standard even for the same sample. This work utilizes some textural features extracted from the fabric’s images to obtain better representative and quantitative values of th...

An innovative approach to glass fiber reinforcement in laminates offers a flatter, thinner weave that result in a smoother, more uniform surface for mechanical and laser drilling as well as improved dimensional stability. The manufacturing process has been completely redesigned to be more efficient and flexible. Glass fabric produced with this new process offers superior properties for high per...
