This introduction to natural and synthetic polymers briefly outlines the nature
of their chemical structures and molecular arrangements. The nature of
intermolecular attractive forces and the glass transition temperature were
introduced because so many of the properties of synthetic polymers, including
their dyeing behaviour, depend upon them. This chapter therefore sets the stage
for the following discussions of specific fibres.
