To fully appreciate the coloration of all textile fibres there is a need to understand the physical, chemical, thermal and optical properties of fibres in general. The following 4 documents provide this background information that you should refer to during your study. These documents are also useful reference material.
- General Physical and Mechanical properties of Fibres
- Mechanical properties of Fibres
- Thermal properties of Fibres
- Optical properties of Fibres
Extracts from some of the recommended texts as well as articles from Coloration Technology are made available to students in the lessons.
