Industry:Textiles
A chemical reaction wherein small molecules combine to form much larger molecules.
Industry:Textiles
A high molecular weight, chain-like structure from which manufactured fibers are derived; produced by linking together molecular units called monomers.
Industry:Textiles
A manufactured fiber made of polyethylene, often in monofilament form as well as continuous filament yarns and staple. Ethylene is polymerized at high pressures and the resulting polymer is melt spun and cold drawn. It may also be dry-spun from xylene solution.
Industry:Textiles
A synthetic polymer and the fibers made from it in which the simple chemical compounds used for its production are linked together by amide linkages (-NH-CO-).
Industry:Textiles
A high polymer, usually combined with other ingredients such as curatives, plasticizers, and fillers. It can be molded under heat and pressure and then machined accurately in its hardened state. General term for a wide range of substances.
Industry:Textiles
1. A chemical added to polymers and resins to impart flexibility, workability, or stretchability.
2. A bonding agent that acts by solvent action on fibers.
Industry:Textiles
Three layers of fabric involving two folds or reversals of direction; the back fold may be replaced by a seam.
Industry:Textiles
A chemical radical, (C<sub>6</sub>H5-), derived from benzene. It is the basis of many aromatic derivatives.
