Chemical testing of textiles (Woodhead Publishing Series in Textiles)

Buy
It has long been my desire to contribute to a textbook that is solely devoted to the chemical analysis of textiles. Thus, when Woodhead Publishing contacted me about editing this book, I enthusiastically accepted the offer. Now, with the hard work of a team of contributors who are professors, material researchers and textile analysts from Canada, Britain, Germany and the United States of America, and the great assistance offered by the staff at Woodhead Publishing, this book has become a reality.

The book was initially intended to be read by students in the textile chemistry field who are supposed to have taken organic chemistry. As realized later, this book may also serve as a guide for textile professionals working in laboratories for chemicals testing. Some of these textile professionals may or may not be trained in this specialized area of chemistry, or, if they were trained, they may have been working outside the chemistry specialism for a long time. Therefore, the heavy chemistry content has been reduced and more fundamental chemical concepts and rudimentary procedures have been introduced. It has not been easy to balance the theoretical and practical parts of the content. As it is, this book seems more inclined to the practical with many basic aspects pertaining to the chemical analysis of textiles. Readers who have an avid chemistry mindset or who want to know all the detailed procedures, experimental set-up and data analysis could find the references at the end of every chapter more useful with regard to each individual test introduced in the chapter. In most cases, the chemical analysis is done with a test method regulated and updated by a professional organization, like the American Association of Textile Chemist and Colorists (AATCC), the Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Some test methods may be adopted by a few organizations.

This is a comprehensive book that provides a comprehensive coverage of the chemical analysis procedure for a broad range of textiles. It aims to introduce fundamental chemical concepts and rudimentary procedures, while balancing the  content between the theoretical and practical.  Contributors include professors, material researchers and textile analysts from Britain, Germany, Canada and the United States of America. The opening chapter introduces fibers and yarn identification and is followed by nine separate chapters discussing different chemical analyses with regard to textiles, which include leather, textile wet processes, fibre finishes, coatings, performance related tests, wastewater, and dyes and pigments.
