Excerpt from The d104ile Fibers: Their Physical, Microscopical and Chemical Properties Since the last edition of this volume of ten years ago there has been so much new matter appearing in the field of textile fibers that the author has been under the necessity of entirely rewriting and rearranging the book. In the present edition, therefore, the reader will find that a great deal of new matter has been introduced and the general plan of the book has been readjusted to meet. The demands of a logical development of the subject. The field of textile chemistry and the processing of textile fibers has taken on new proportions during the past ten years. To mention only one branch of the subject, the artificial silk industry, for example, has expanded until at the present time more artificial silk is made than is obtained as a natural product from the silkworm. The use of merceri'sed cotton has become an established factor in the cotton industry and has become stabilised into a standard process. The World War caused much research into the possibilities of utilising other fibers than those normally employed, and we find a great variety of experimenting, such as in the spinning of the so - called staple fiber yarns. Some of these sporadic attempts have passed out with the necessity of their use, while others have shown themselves to be of sufficient worth to remain in the general body of textile products. The fact that several reprintings were called for in the third edition of this book has encouraged the author to feel that his attempt to bring together such a large mass of scientific and technical data concerning the textile fibers has been more or less appreciated by those interested in the fiber industries. He has scoured the literature of this country and Europe rather thoroughly in the search for information, and anything of interest or value he has not hesitated to take and has endeavored to fit it in its proper place in this volume. The patent literature has also been thoroughly digested, though it has been the author's experience that in this province great care must be exercised so as not to distort in one direction or the other the technical values in a patent.

The identification of fibers is important to the textile industry, forensic science, fashion designers and historians among others. Identifying fibers involves observing the physical and chemical properties of the fiber for which there are a wide diversity of instruments available. This book provides a comprehensive review of fiber structure, the diversity of instruments available to identify fibers and applicications for a range of industries.The first part of the book examines the main fibers, their structure and characteristics. Part two focuses on methods of fiber identification, ranging from microscopic to DNA analysis. Specific applications, including how textiles are identified in forensic investigations.Identification of textile fibers is an important text for forensic scientists, police and lawyers who may be involved with the use of textile fibers to provide evidence in criminal cases. It will also be relevant for textile designers, technologists and inspectors wishing to assess fiber quality and understand fiber damage. - Provides a comprehensive review of the main types of fibre together with their structure, characteristics and identification - Assesses methods of fibre identification from optical microscopy to DNA analysis as well as instruments available to identify fibres
