Review
"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." Materials World, 1/08/2011, Dr Andy Crangle,
Synopsis

Synopsis
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, 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.
