Textile materials used in automobiles have a large contribution in the production of
automobile carpets, seating fabrics, side, roof, floor and door panels, safety belts, tires,
airbags, air filters, fuel filters, insulation materials and so on. Whereas these materials are
largely manufactured by using man-made fibers, polyester (polyethylene terephthalate
[PET]) is the predominant fiber used in the manufacturing of automotive textiles. This
chapter deals with the use of polyester fiber in automotive applications in different forms
such as knitted, woven and nonwoven textile structures and as a component of composite
structures discussing the basic properties and performance aspects of the fiber.
