Description

Edited by leading authorities on the subject and with a team of international authors, this authoritative collection provides a comprehensive review of the structure of an extensive range of textile fibers. The book begins with an introductory set of chapters on fiber structure and methods to characterize fibers. It then reviews the structure of natural cellulosic and protein fibers, including cotton, silk and wool. It also covers the structure of manufactured polymer fibers, for example polyester, polyamides, elastomeric fibers and high-modulus, high-tenacity polymer fibers. The book concludes with a discussion of the structure of a variety of other textile fibers such as glass, carbon and optical fibers.

Description

Due to their complexity and diversity, understanding the structure of textile fibres is of key importance. This authoritative two-volume collection provides a comprehensive review of the structure of an extensive range of textile fibres. Volume 2 begins by reviewing natural fibres such as cellulosic, cotton, protein, wool and silk fibres. Part two considers regenerated cellulosic, protein, alginate, chitin and chitosan fibres. The final part of the book discusses inorganic fibres such as glass, carbon and ceramic fibres as well as specialist fibres such as thermally and chemically-resistant fibres, optical and hollow fibres. Chapters review how fibre structure contributes to key mechanical properties. A companion volume reviews the structure of manufactured polymer fibres. Edited by leading authorities on the subject and with a team of international authors, the two volumes of the Handbook of textile fibre structure is an essential reference for textile technologists, fibre scientists, textile engineers and those in academia.
