Description
Taylor & Francis Handbook of Fiber Science and Technology Volume 2 High Technology Fibers Part C 1993 Edition by Menachem Lewin, Jack Preston
This text provides up-to-date coverage of both recently developed and potentially available fibers, emphasizing new applications. Highlighting preparation, properties, practical industrial uses and future research directions for high technology, this volume examines optical fibres, aramid and polyimide fibres for heat resistant applications, ceramic fibres, fibres with thermal adaptability and electrically conducting polymers for fibres. Table of contents : - Optical fibres, Eric L. Barish and Basant K. Tariyal; nomex aramid fibre, H.H. Yang; high-performance polyimide fibres, Klaus Weinrotter and Sigrid Seidl; ceramic fibres derived from organosilicon polymers, Jonathan Lipowitz et al; processing technologies of oriented, electrically conductive polymers, Jeff Moulton and Paul Smith; fibres with multifunctional properties - a holistic approach, Tyrone L. Vigo and Joseph S. Bruno; mesophases of cellulose and cellulose derivatives - a review, Richard D. Gilbert.
