Modified Polyester Fibres (Textile Science & Technology 10)

The purpose of this volume is to provide information on the structure, properties and behaviour of modified polyester fibres. Particular attention is paid to new types of modified polyester fibres and methods of their modification, modifying agents and production. Chemical and physical modification resulting in the development of various fibre types that exhibit improved processing and performance characteristics are discussed, also in view of their end-use application. These include mainly fibres exhibiting a reduced tendency to pilling, improved dyeability, controlled shrink, reduced flammability, reduced static charging and reduced tendency to soiling. The book is intended for textile workers engaged in the processing of modified polyester fibres and to all who those striving to understand the relationships between the structure, properties and applications of modified polyester fibres.
