Textiles Bibliographies

A bibliography titled Textile Bibliography compiled by Textile World, New York, in 1949 is available. This bibliography, when made up, attempted to list every book on textile processing, both in print and out of print, ever published in the English language. 

In order to avoid repetition, the books listed in the Textile Bibliography (233) are not included in the bibliography of this paper unless they are mentioned in the text. Some well-known authoritative references, not listed in this paper, will be found there.

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.

Periodicals can be easily used as sources of information in research studies by use of either the annual indexes to their contents published by the better magazines themselves, or by use of such standard indexes as Industrial Arts Index, Engineer-inff Index, etc. The bibliography presented in this paper includes a list of every known textile periodical published in the world. This list, compiled by Textile World, also indicates in which standard references the issues are indexed, if they are indexed at all. 

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. 

The 1950-51 annual report of the Indian Central Jute Committee (1 5) mentions the compilation of a 900-item bibliography covering jute science and technology since 1920. This committee published A Review of the Position Reached in Technological Research in Jute by C. R. Nodder in 1949 (240. Chaudhury s Jute and Substitutes, published in 1933, is a useful treatise (H2). The Textile Institute s handbook on jute, by H. L. Parsons, is already out of print (247). 

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. 

Yearbooks. The Technical Manual and Year Book of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists 20 is one of the more valuable reference books. It is divided into five sections. The first describes the organization. The second contains conunittee reports. The chairmen of various committees report on new methods and processes explored during the year. The Bibliography Committee s Report contains a list of current literature, arranged by author and subject, and a list of books. The 1951...

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. 

Textiles, pp. 319-472, New York, Reinhold Publishing Corp., 1951. Extensive bibliographies included. 

It is probably evident from the above introductory discussion, and important to realise, that the whole issue of heat and fire protection with respect to textiles is a complex area involving knowledge of elements of fire science, flame retardant treatments, development of heat and fire resistant fibres and derived textile structures and the inter-relationships between regulations, applications and markets. The bibliography lists a number of prime sources of information in these areas, and for an overview of textiles for fire and heat protection the reader should refer in particular to a recent article by this author. In this chapter, the focus will be only on high performance textiles in which fire and heat protection are essential requirements.
