A groundbreaking text to the study of textile fibers that bridges
the knowledge gap between fiber shape and end uses Textile Fiber
Microscopy offers an important and comprehensive guide to the study
of textile fibers and contains a unique text that prioritizes a
review of fibers' microstructure, macrostructure and chemical
composition. The author - a noted expert in the field - details
many fiber types and includes all the possible fiber shapes with a
number of illustrative micrographs. The author explores a wealth of
topics such as fiber end uses, fiber source and production, a
history of each fiber and the sustainability of the various fibers.
The text includes a review of environmentally friendly fibers and
contains information on the most current fiber science by putting
the focus on fibers that have been mechanically or chemically
recycled, for use in textile production. The author also offers an
exploration of issues of textile waste and the lack of textile
recycling that can help public policymakers with ways to inform and
regulate post-industrial and post-consumer textile waste issues.
This vital guide: Contains an accompanied micrograph for many
fibers presented Includes information on how fiber microstructure
is connected to fabric properties and how it affects the end use of
fabrics Offers a review of the sophistication of textile fibers
from a scientific point of view Presents a comparative textile
fiber review that is appropriate for both for students, textile
experts and forensic scientists Written for students and
professionals of apparel design and merchandising, and forensic
scientists, Textile Fiber Microscopy presents an important review
of textile fibers from a unique perspective that explores fibers'
microstructure, macrostructure and chemical composition.
