Synopsis:

"Offers comprehensive coverage of the most important natural and synthetic fibers used in consumer goods, agriculture, industry, medicine, and engineering. Second Edition provides entirely new coverage of topics such as vinyl fibers; mammalian fibers related to wool; cotton, jute, silk, and kenaf fibers; and acrylic fibers."

Review: ." . .an old and trusty friend, winning its place in the handiest bookshelf on sheer merit. . .. . . .this hefty volume offers a world of surprises in its compass, and is well worth the money to mill labs." ---Textile Asia "This expanded volume contains a large amount of new data, and should be considered a new book rather than just an update of the first edition." ---JTN Monthly ." . .would make a very good addition to the reference section of a fiber or polymer library." ---Polymer News "The second edition of this handbook is a comprehensive and valuable addition to the literature because it essentially updates the manufacture, processing, and properties of commercially important natural and synthetic fibers. Particular attention is given to the polymerization mechanisms and processes for preparation of synthetic fibers. There is also excellent coverage of the fine structure, morphology, unit cell, crystallinity, and related aspects of both natural and synthetic fibers. The text contains useful and appropriate photomicrographs, as well as a fundamental discussion of the mechanical and other physical properties of fibers." ---The Journal of the Textile Institute "The second edition. . .has been extensively revised. . .. . . .a well-organized handbook for academic, special and libraries serving researchers who are working with all types of fibers." ---E-Streams
