7 Best Books on Advance Manufactured Fiber Technology

“Manufactured Fibre Technology” Book Review: This book is an all-encompassing resource suitable for students, lecturers, industrial technologists, and researchers. It delves into the basic principles and production of various fibre types, providing a comprehensive understanding of the chemical, physical, and mechanical processes involved in the production of all significant commodity manufactured fibres and most industrial fibres. In addition, it covers the fundamental principles and industrial aspects of fibre production, as well as the latest developments in manufacturing processes, characteristics, and applications of manufactured fibres. This book includes an array of topics such as high-speed spinning, production of speciality fibres (including microfibres), computer simulation of spinning, high-performance fibres, spun-bonding and melt-blowing, and re-use of fibre waste. Moreover, it provides insights into the structure, property, and application areas of each type of fibre.

“Handbook of Textile Fibre Structure, Volume 1: Fundamentals and Manufactured Polymer Fibres (Woodhead Publishing Series in Textiles (Hardcover))” Book Review: The book is organized into three primary fiber groups. The initial section delves into the structure of a diverse array of textile fibers. The second section focuses on the natural cellulosic and protein fibers, such as cotton, silk, and wool. The third part examines the manufactured polymer fibers, including polyester, polyamides, elastomeric fibers, and high-modulus, high-tenacity polymer fibers. The final section of the book is dedicated to discussing the structure of several other textile fibers, such as glass, carbon, and optical fibers.

“Review of the U.S. Navy’s Exposure Standard for Manufactured Vitreous Fibers” Book Review: This book examines the measures taken by the U.S. Navy Environmental Health Center (NEHC) to safeguard naval personnel from harmful exposures to MVF. The NEHC has established occupational exposure standards for this purpose, and this book sheds light on the role played by industrial hygienists, occupational medicine physicians, and other navy health professionals in monitoring and mitigating the health hazards associated with MVF exposure. Additionally, the book reveals that the Committee on Toxicology, appointed by the NRC, was tasked with evaluating the accuracy and completeness of the data used in the development of the exposure standard. The committee’s mandate also included assessing the degree of uncertainty, variability, and data quality involved in the derivation of the standard.

“The 2016-2021 World Outlook for Polyolefin Manufactured Fibers” Book Review: This book presents an analysis of the global perspective on polyolefin manufactured fibers. Its contents provide insights into the potential worldwide demand, known as P.I.E., for such fibers. Additionally, the book highlights the distribution of P.I.E. across various regional and national markets. Notably, this analysis does not delve into the specifics of market players or individual products. Moreover, short-term fluctuations that could impact actual sales are not considered. The book utilizes econometric models that emphasize the fundamental economic dynamics of each country and international markets, thereby generating estimates of latent demand.

“FRP Technology: Fibre Reinforced Resin Systems” Book Review: This book aims to provide information on the importance of synthetic resins, particularly how they have become a crucial component in the production of fiber reinforced products. Specifically, the book focuses on unsaturated polyester resins reinforced with glass fibers, as well as the different types of resin systems and reinforcing fibers. Additionally, the book explains that most available resins are formulated products rather than pure chemical compounds. Lastly, the book includes commercial information that may prove beneficial for designers and fabricators.
