Handbook of Fiber Chemistry provides complete coverage of scientific and technological principles for all major natural and synthetic fibers.

Handbook of Fiber Chemistry:

• Provides comprehensive coverage of all major fibers and their uses in current applications
• Includes the most important developments in fiber science during the last decade
• Expands, updates, and reorganizes the chapter on the science and technology of cotton and cellulose
• Illustrates renewed interest in vegetable fibers in the chapters on long vegetable fibers, jute, and kenaf
• Contains new material on rayon, acetate, silk, polypropylene, polyamide, polyester, and vinyl
• Adds a new chapter on Aramide fibers

Incorporating new scientific techniques, instruments, characterization, and processing methods, Handbook of Fiber Chemistry features important technological advances from the past decade, particularly in fiber production and novel applications.

Handbook of Fiber Chemistry contains the latest data and insight into the chemistry and structural properties made possible by these advances.

Taking into account the recent expansion and diversification of markets for various fibers, Handbook of Fiber Chemistry also offers a solid foundation in the principles used for developing new fibers, including biologically and electronically active fibers.

Handbook of Fiber Chemistry offers a better understanding of the structure-property relationships of fibers and fiber-related phenomena.
