A text book of fibre science and technology

by S.P. Mishra

Focussing on the fundamentals of natural and manmade fibres, this book systematically explains fibre extraction/production, structure, properties and uses. Recent developments like different aliphatic and aromatic polyamides, ployimides, novoloids, polycarbonates, carbon, high performance polyethylenes, etc. have also been explained in a simplified manner. Diverse applications of fibres have been included to illustrate their use and utility. This book will serve as a basic text for both Diploma and Degree students of all textile disciplines.
