| Publisher Description: This is the only book on the chemistry of textile fibres aimed at 'A' level students and first-year undergraduates. It explains the characteristics required for polymers to be fibre-forming, the general physical properties needed from textile fibres, and the chemistry of important natural and synthetic fibres. The book also deals with the essential chemistry of high-performance fibres that possess functionalities beyond those of materials traditionally used for apparel. Later chapters describe methods of fibre enhancement and fibre blending. |
