Synthetic polymer-based fibres are used in a great variety of consumer and industrial textile applications ranging from clothing to home furnishings to surgical procedures. They use a range of spinning techniques. Advances in filament yarn spinning of textiles and polymers reviews the different types of spinning technique and issues such as their effect on fibre properties, including melt, dry, wet and gel spinning.Each chapter explores how spinning can be applied in the textile industry. Part one considers the fundamental structure and properties of fibres that determine their behaviour during spinning. The book then discusses developments in technologies for manufacturing synthetic polymer films to produce different fibres with specialised properties. Part two focuses on spinning techniques, including the benefits and limitations of melt spinning and the use of gel spinning to produce high strength and high elastic fibres. Developments in bi-component, bi-constituent and electro- spinning are then considered, in particular the fabrication of nano-composite fibres. The final chapters review integrated composite spinning of yarns and the principles of wet and dry spinning.This collection is an important reference for a wide range of industrial textile technologists, including spinners, fabric and garment manufacturers and students of textile technology. It is also of great interest for polymer scientists.
