Advanced Fiber Applications Properties and Applications of Fibers From Fully Aromatic Polyesters, 1994 Nonwovens Conference Proceedings
Peter M. Adams, Gerry Farrow
Interest in advanced fibers derived from synthetic organic polymers has grown substantially over the past twenty-five years. Underlying this growth is the remarkable range of mechanical properties exhibited by advanced fibers which permits them to be used for a variety of purposes. Such properties may include high-temperature strength, high stiffness, low moisture absorption, no creep, or light weight. The use of such designed fibers and the materials derived from them may be referred to as advanced fibers or “advanced fiber materials.”
