Textile Chemicals Bibliographies

No apology is made, nor need be, for incompleteness in a survey of such a comprehensive field. The purpose of this paper is to establish adequate guideposts. A selected bibliography of textile literature on processing and textile chemicals is presented at the end of the paper. 

This bibliography is not intended to be an exhaustive list of references, but rather a selective list designed to help the chemist new to the textile field. Therefore, it is only a guide to the main sources of the textile literature on processing and textile chemicals, with suggested examples for each of the various types of literature available. 

Native potato starch, which is used in the food, paper and textile industries, is often not optimal for a particular application. Modifications are done to obtain the properties needed for specific uses.26 28 More than 500 modifications of potato starch are currently known. This chapter presents an overview of the major commercial modifications rather than a complete bibliography of all potato starch reactions. With a distinction based on the chemical character of the product, three groups can be distinguished. Some derivatives are made from starch by a combination of reactions. 

Index Key. Publications in which periodicals are indexed are indicated by (1) Chemical Abstracts, (2) Industrial Arts Index, (3) Engineering Index, (4) Journal of the Textile Institute, (5) Bibliography of Agriculture.
