Explanation:
This chapter presents the most up-to-date information regarding all the principal classes of fibers, viewed in the light of research and commercial exploitation. Textile fibers consist of polymers. Polymers are long chain molecules that are formed by chemically joining the monomers and the process is known as “polymerization.” The length of the chain is represented by degree of polymerization (DP). If a polymer is formed from two or more monomers it is called “copolymer.’ To improve the properties of the fiber sometimes additional monomer is grafted on to the polymer chain. With the introduction of new fibers during the past decade and increasing consumption of fiber blends it has become necessary to look at general fiber chemistry as the pre-treatment technology of one fiber is different to that of another.
