Synopsis

Polyester and polyamide continue to account for the vast amount of synthetic fibre usage. Current developments are leading to continued improvements in the properties and performance of these fibres. This important book begins with a review of the chemical and physical properties of each fibre and their manufacture. Part 2 analyses how the functionality of polyester and polyamides can be improved. The final sequence of chapters provides examples of how the fibres are used in applications such as sports and automotive products. This book is an essential reference for anyone involved in the research or development of polyester and polyamide fibres.
