Textiles are a versatile and essential material that we encounter in our daily lives. From clothing and accessories to transportation, healthcare, and construction, textiles play a crucial role in various industries. In this comprehensive book, readers will delve into the world of textile fibres, exploring their chemistry and properties.
The Chemistry of Textile Fibres provides a comprehensive overview of the various types of textile fibres available today. It covers natural fibres, such as cotton, wool, and silk, as well as high-performance fibres, such as nylon, polyester, and acrylics. The book delves into the synthesis of these fibres, their chemical composition, and their properties, such as strength, durability, and comfort.
One of the key aspects of the book is its emphasis on the environmental impact of textile fibres. It discusses the chemical decomposition of synthetic polymers and strategies to reduce the damaging impact of microfibers, which are tiny particles of fabric that can be released into the environment during washing and wear. The book introduces the production of micro- and nanomaterials from cellulose as an alternative to relatively toxic and non-ecofriendly micro- and nanomaterials produced from other sources.
Furthermore, the book explores the bio-functionalization of textiles, which involves adding functional properties to fabrics to enhance their performance and usability. This includes the incorporation of antimicrobial agents, UV protection, and moisture-wicking properties, among others.
The Chemistry of Textile Fibres is designed for students following A-level courses or equivalent and first-year undergraduate students reading textile technology subjects at university. It provides a solid foundation in textile chemistry and offers valuable insights into the latest developments in the field.
In conclusion, The Chemistry of Textile Fibres is a comprehensive and essential book for anyone interested in textile science, engineering, or fashion. It provides a deep understanding of the chemistry behind textile fibres, their properties, and their environmental impact. With its revised and updated content, the book is a valuable resource for students, professionals, and anyone seeking to advance their knowledge in this field.
