Professor Bharat J.
Gajjar, World Authority on Warp Knitting Technology, clearly explains the
fabric portion of Warp Knit Technology.
He shows how to
develop and manufacture quality Warp Knit fabrics, both quality commercial
structures as well as advanced fabric structures.
This book has many
new ideas for designers, research laboratories and manufacturers.
Professor Gajjar invented the famous Delaware Stitch, the warp knit fabric which made Qiana® world famous.
Awarded 20 patents in his name, mostly related to warp knitting, he retired
from E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. after 35 years (1956 - 1992) as a Senior

Comments:
“I am a
professor at Ege University Textile Engineering
Department. I have various papers and
books in the knitting area. Prof. Oktem gave your “Warp Knit Fabrics Technologies” book to
me. I believe it is one of the best
books in the warp knitting area. Your
technique is extremely effective and simple.
The book is very well organized and presented. I will highly recommend this book to my
students and my colleagues. Thank you
very much for your contributions to the knitting sector.”
