Continuing the outstanding coverage from Part A, the authoritative information in Functional Finishes, Part B makes your work with fibers and fabrics cost-effective …offers practical guidance in finishing techniques-including flame retardancy, water andoil repellency, soil release, electroconductivity, and radiation … and eases your continuingstudy of this expanding field with numerous, current references-with manyoriginal findings not previously cited.As new advances widen the scope of this field, each volume of Handbook of Fiber Scienceand Technology becomes an indispensable acquisition for researchers. Textile , fiber, polymer, organic, physical, and biological chemists; textile finishers and chemicalmanufacturers; R & D personnel in the polymer, fiber, chemical, and textile industries;plastics and chemical engineers; materials scientists; and wood and paper technologistswill find them essential references. They are also superior sources of supplementaryreading for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in polymer, fiber, and textilechemistry and technology ; chemical processing of fibers, chemical technology andengineering, and polymer processing.
