6.3.4 Cellulose Ester Fibres

The accompanying script for this topic is provided in the Transcript Document

This extract from  Burkinshaw’s – Physio-Chemical Aspects of Textile Coloration provides supporting information and reading for this topic.

This extract from A.D. Broadbent’s book – Basic Principles of Textile Coloration provides an interesting and accessible introduction to derivatised cellulosic fibres. For additional interest and information, the complete book chapter is included to better inform you of artificially made cellulosic fibres, including regenerated and reconstituted fibres.

This extract from   Synthetic Fibre Dyeing  (Ed. Chris Hawkyard) provides a concise introduction as background reading to cellulose acetate and triacetate fibres.

It is recommended that the above extracts are printed out as they are relevant for both topics, 6.3.4 Types of Fibre – Cellulose Ester Fibres and 6.4.4 Physical Structure of Fibres – Cellulose Ester Fibres.
