Surface Characteristics of Fibers and Textiles (Surfactant science series ; v. 94)

An exploration of the surface characteristics of fibres and textiles. It emphasizes how fibre surface affects permeability, stiffness, strength, dyeing, wrinkling, and other performance characteristics to optimize production. It also illustrates methods for developing wrinkle-resistant finishes on fibre surfaces using environmentally friendly techniques. Content: Formaldehyde-free durable press finishing surface characteristics of polyester fibres frictional properties of textile materials infrared absorption characteristics of fabrics electrochemical sensors for the control of the concentration of bleaching agent to optimize the quality of bleached and dyed textile products surface features of mineral-filled polypropylene filaments inorganic fibres surface modification of textiles by plasma treatments measuring interface strength in composite materials the effect of fibre surface on the thermal properties of fibrous composites design and permeability of porous textile composites.
