Description
This volume presents the proceedings of an international symposium co-sponsored by the History of Chemistry, Polymer, Material Science and Engineering, Polymer Chemistry and Cellulose, Paper and Textile Division of the American Chemical Society on the history of manmade fibres at its 201st national annual meeting in Atlanta in 1991. It contains chapters on a wide range of fibres both from an historical perspective and with a view to outlining new materials and novel uses.
