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 and oil repellency, soil release, electroconductivity, and radiation ... and eases your continuing study of this expanding field with numerous, current references—with many original findings not previously cited.

As new advances widen the scope of this field, each volume of Handbook of Fiber Science and Technology becomes an indispensable acquisition for researchers. Textile, fiber, polymer, organic, physical, and biological chemists; textile finishers and chemical manufacturers; R & D personnel in the polymer, fiber, chemical, and textile industries; plastics and chemical engineers; materials scientists; and wood and paper technologists will find them essential references.

They are also superior sources of supplementary reading for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in polymer, fiber, and textile chemistry and technology; chemical processing of fibers, chemical technology and engineering, and polymer processing.
