Introduction: The structure of fibres

  • M. A. Wilding
Chapter

Abstract

The specific chemistry of a given type of fibre is undeniably crucial in determining many features associated with its processing, performance and end-uses; but it may also be asserted that its physical structure — i.e. the organisation and geometrical arrangement of its component parts —is at least equal in importance. This accounts for the largely physical approach taken in the first chapter of a work devoted to the Chemistry of the Textiles Industry. The fact is that the two aspects cannot, and ought not to, be separated.
