Bechtold T., Pham T. Textile Chemistry 2019

Textbook in PDF format

Textile Chemistry gives a detailed and explanatory overview on mainly chemical but also physical aspects of fabrics. It contains definitions, basic components and their properties, physicochemical processes, as well as chemical modification of textiles, highlighting the application of smart materials. The book also provides exercises and sample calculations, which makes it ideal for students and scientists in industry.
Gives an introduction and describes fundamental chemistry applied in the textile industry. Especially suitable and comprehensive for students and industry starters due to different exercises and several calculation examples.
