Advances in Filament Yarn Spinning of Textiles and Polymers

Informationen zum Autor Dong Zhang is Editor-in-Chief of "Textile Research Journal" and the" Journal of Industrial Textiles" and Owner of Textile Research Associates, Tennessee. Klappentext This book reviews recent developments in the range of filament yarn spinning techniques. Part one looks at general issues such as the range of synthetic polymer fibres and their processing requirements, fibre behaviour during spinning and the range of spinning techniques. Part two reviews individual spinning techniques including melt spinning, gel spinning, electrospinning, wet and dry spinning, as well as specialist techniques such as bi-component spinning.Advances in filament yarn spinning of textiles and polymers reviews the different spinning techniques and their effect on fibre properties, including melt, dry, wet and gel spinning.
