Books in the International Fiber Science and Technology series

This book is intended to fiber technologists, textile dealers, and textile salesmen a practical guideline to become acquainted with and to deepen their knowledge of the processes for the manufacture of film tapes, split-film yarns, and fibrillated film fibers.

This work details current advances in assessing the characteristics of polymers, single fibres and fibrous systems, and associated processes based on evolving theories in the physical, chemical and mechanical sciences. It focuses on recent develpments in selected characterization methods - such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance, electron diffraction, x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy - applicatble to polymers, fibres and textiles.

This book presents a comprehensive treatise on chemical processing of fibers and fabrics. It creates an understanding of the fundamentals, principles, mechanisms, and processes involved in the field of fiber science and technology. The book is intended for scientists, technologists, and students.
