Fundamentals of Fiber Science

Zhang Xiangwu, 2014

Overview

This volume delves into the fundamental chemical and mathematical theories essential for understanding and modifying the relationships between structure, formation, and properties of diverse manmade and natural fibers. It explains the organization of polymeric and non-polymeric fibers, their synthetic and biological formation processes, and how molecular and submolecular organization dictates primary and secondary properties, from flow characteristics to thermal and electrical qualities. The book establishes quantitative and predictive relationships crucial for fiber engineering.
