Thermal Analysis of Textiles and Fibers (The Textile Institute Book) offers systematic and comprehensive coverage of the subject from the principles of fiber structure to advanced thermal analysis techniques. Edited by Michael Jaffe, this 1st edition provides essential knowledge for understanding both thermal analysis methods and fiber behavior. The book delves into the application of thermal analysis in assessing fiber and fabric performance under end-use relevant conditions, with a focus on high-performance fibers such as Kevlar, Vectran, PBI, polyolefins, polypropylene, PAN, and PVA. It also covers advanced techniques like combined and modulated methods and integrates information from spectroscopic techniques to provide detailed insights into fiber properties. Key chapters explore the use of thermal analysis in identifying, characterizing, and testing the stability of fibers, making this an invaluable resource for experts in the field.
