American Handbook of Synthetic Textiles

The most thorough historical treatment of man-made fibers appeared recently in the book Development of Some Man-Made Fibres (25). The chapter on synthetic fibers has an especially good bibliography. Detailed descriptions of the history of man-made fibers in the United States can be found in the American Handbook of Synthetic Textiles (P), recently off the press, and Matthews Textile Fibers 10. A new and sixth edition of the latter volume is believed to be under way.
