Modified Fibers with Medical and Specialty Applications

This book is intended for researchers and those interested in future developments in fiber technology. Several innovative applications for natural and synthetic fibers are described in considerable detail with emphasis on the experimental data that supports these new applications. From bandages to magnetic materials and from antibacterial clothing to implants, creative modifications to fibers are described that could one day become commonplace. Never before has this much new information about fiber modification been packaged into one volume. And, in this book the world?s leading experts describe their most recent research in their areas of expertise.
