Notes:
The relation between polymer and fiber structure and fiber properties is discussed. The specific effects of intermolecular forces, chain stiffness, monomer unit regularity, crystallinity, crosslinking, orientation, molecular weight, and chemical composition on the important fiber properties of melting point, modulus, elasticity, or recovery from strain, tensile strength, moisture adsorption, and dyeability are discussed in some detail. An example is given to illustrate the role of today's sophisticated engineering in further controlling and modifying fiber properties.
