Synopsis

Volume 2 begins by reviewing natural fibres such as cellulosic, cotton, protein, wool and silk fibres. Part two considers regenerated cellulosic, protein, alginate, chitin and chitosan fibres. The final part of the book discusses inorganic fibres such as glass, carbon and ceramic fibres as well as specialist fibres such as thermally and chemically-resistant fibres, optical and hollow fibres. Chapters review how fibre structure contributes to key mechanical properties.

Key Features: discusses how fibre structure contributes to key mechanical properties; reviews natural fibres such as cellulosic, cotton and silk fibres and considers various regenerated fibres; examines inorganic fibres including glass and crabon as well as specialist fibres such as chemically-resistant and optical fibres.

Contents: Part 1 Natural fibres: An introduction to cellulosic fibres; The structure of cotton and other plant fibres; An introduction to protein fibres; The structure and properties of wool and hair fibres; The structure of silk. Part 2 Regenerated natural fibres: The structure of man-made cellulosic fibres; Regenerated protein fibres: a review; The structure of alginate, chitin and chitosan fibres. Part 3 manufacturered non-polymer fibres: The structure and properties of glass fibres; The structure of carbon fibres; Processing, structure and properties of ceramic fibres; Structure and properties of asbestos; Thermally and chemically resistant textile fibres: structure and properties; Structure, properties and characteristics of optical fibres; Production and applications of hollow fibers.
