Synopsis "Encyclopaedia of Textile Science, Technology and Engineering aims to provide the textile technologist with an understanding of fabrics and their use with textile materials and in process engineering. It covers all the relevant aspects of textile processing, from the chemical constitution and properties of textile materials as potential substrates for Synthetic Fibres, to the processing of these materials; from basic biochemistry and to the industrial application of these biocatalysts.

The text matter of this Encyclopaedia is written in a concise, simple style which can be understood by any one with only basic scientific background knowledge. The scientific principles are explained to help readers understand why processes are done in such a way and it is also hoped this will assist with problem solving. Because of the practical nature of the industry, all technical design and manufacturing personnel are frequently referred to as engineers.

This encyclopaedia while containing some scientific theory and some history to make it more readable will be of practical help to all engineers who deal with components containing a textile and also to interior trim designers. It will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the use of Fibres in textiles including textile students, scientists and engineers with a background in textiles, biotechnology, chemistry and process engineering."
