Abstract:
The demand of textiles for different use, i.e.
clothing, home-textiles and technical purposes,
is steadily increasing world wide and can not be
met by the natural fibres wool and cotton.
Therefore the production of synthetic fibres as
an alternative to natural fibres becomes more
and more necessary. Moreover, synthetic fibres
cannot be considered as a mere supplementary
product. They are far more important because of
such outstanding properties as adaptability according
to special requirements, high strength,
good processing and shrinking properties, rot resistance,
easy-care properties, resistance to light
and chemicals, etc.
