The changes made by these modifications, however, are quite modest in comparison to those possible by the planned formation of suitable fiberforming chain molecules. The first representative of this class of elastic polymers for textile use was Spandex. Spandex is a segmented polyurethane in which the hard segments serve as cross-linking points for the rubberlike... 

Aliphatic polyanhydrides were developed in 1932 as a fiber-forming polymer for textile applications. However, the hydrolytic instability of the polymer limited its use as a textile fiber. More recently, the surface erosion phenomenon of the polymer responsible for its hydrolytic instability has made it attractive as a... 

The importance of surfactants in the preparation of polymer systems such as emulsion or latex polymers and polymers for textile manufacture have already been mentioned. They are also important in bulk polymer processes where they serve as lubricants in processing machinery, mold release agents, and antistatic agents, and surface modifiers, and in various other important roles.
