)--Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c94085 ) has announced the addition of Polyesters and Polyamides to theiroffering. Edited by B L Deopura, R Alagirusamy, M Joshi and B Gupta, IndianInstitute of Technology, India Polyesters and polyamides remain the most used group of Synthetic Fibres. This authoritative book reviews methods of theirproduction, ways of improving their functionality and their widerange of applications. The first part of the book describes raw materials andmanufacturing processes, including environmental issues. Part twoconsiders ways of improving the functionality of polyester andpolyamide fibres, including blending, weaving, coloration and otherfinishing techniques as well as new techniques such asnanotechnology. The final part of the book reviews the range ofuses of these important fibres, from apparel and sportswear toautomotive, medical and civil engineering applications. With its distinguished editors and international team ofcontributors, Polyesters and polyamides will be a standardreference for all those using this important group of fibres.
