Handbook of fiber science and technology: Volume 1 : Chemical processing of fibers and fabrics : fundamentals and preparation. Part B

Continuing the outstanding coverage from Part A, the authoritative information inFundamentals and Preparation, Part B rounds out the first comprehensive treatise onchemical processing of textiles. A systematic, single-source treatment of key topics inthe field, this state-of-the-art work introduces major savings in time and cost to yourwork with fibers and fabrics .. . provides a foundation for projecting future developments. .. and guides you to useful further study with helpful, current references.As new advances expand the scope of this field , each volume of Handbook of FiberScience and Technology becomes an indispensable acquisition for researchers. Textile, fiber , polymer, organic, physical, and biological chemists; textile finishers andchemical manufacturers; research and development personnel in the polymer, fiber,chemical, and textile industries ; plastics and chemical engineers; materials scientists ;and wood and paper technologists will find them essential references. They are eminentsources for supplementary reading in graduate and advanced undergraduate coursesincluding polymer, fiber, and textile chemistry and technology; chemical processing offibers; chemical engineering ; and polymer processing.
