Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Due to their complexity and diversity, understanding the structure of textile fibers is of key importance. This authoritative two-volume collection provides a comprehensive review of the structure of an extensive range of textile fibers.

After an introductory set of chapters on fiber structure and methods to characterize fibers, Volume One is classified into three main fiber groups. The second part reviews the structure of natural cellulosic and protein fibers, including cotton, silk, and wool. Part three covers the structure of manufactured polymer fibers, for example polyester, polyamides, elastomeric fibers, and high-modulus, high-tenacity polymer fibers. The conclusion discusses the structure of a variety of other textile fibers such as glass, carbon and optical fibers.
