We rely on our clothes to protect us from the environment, for modesty, to enhance our appearance and reflect our personality. The revised and updated 2nd Edition of The Chemistry of Textile Fibres provides a comprehensive overview of this field aimed at a level appropriate for 'A' level students and first-year undergraduates following courses in textile science and technology.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Textiles are ubiquitous materials that many of us take for granted in our everyday lives. We rely on our clothes to protect us from the environment and use them to enhance our appearance. Textiles also find applications in transport, healthcare, construction, and many other industries.<br>The revised and updated 2nd Edition of The Chemistry of Textile Fibres highlights the trend towards the synthesis, from renewable resources, of monomers for making synthetic fibres. It contains new information on the influence of legislation and the concerns of environmental organisations on the use of chemicals in the textile industry. New sections on genetically modified cotton, anti-microbial materials and spider silk have been added as well as a new chapter covering functional fibres and fabrics.<br>This book provides a comprehensive overview of the various types of textile fibres that are available today, ranging from natural fibres to the high-performance fibres that are very technologically advanced. Readers will gain an appreciation of why particular types of fibre are used for certain applications through understanding the chemistry behind their properties.<br>Students following 'A' level courses or equivalent and first-year undergraduate students reading textile technology subjects at university will find this book a valuable source of information.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The authors should be congratulated on the scope of the fibre types included, the accuracy and current awareness of the information presented. The chemistry is clearly illustrated to adequately inform and whet the reader's apetite for more. ...the books content clearly demonstrates the fundamental importance of an understanding of chemistry in the study of textile fibres and the materials made from them.--Ian Holme "Materials World, 1/08/2011, Dr Andy Crangle,"<br><br>This is an excellent book, which explains the subject matter with clear text and illustrations. It will prove to be essential reading for students on A Level textile courses, undergraduates and postgraduates.
