I have blended my industrial experience, industrial as well as academic research in this book in a simplified manner in selected chapters, particularly in rheology, extrusion, melt spinning, melt spinning technology, stretching, polyamide fibres, polyester fibres, speciality fibres and polyblend fibres,” says Dr S P Mishra in His Preface to his book, ‘Science & Technology of Man-made Fibres’, published by Suraj Publications.
