Abstract
IN this book, Dr. Valkó gives a remarkably comprehensive account of the present position of physico-chemical investigation in relation to many aspects of the manufacture of textile materials. The title is perhaps not altogether fortunate, since the scope of the book is wider than it suggests. Moreover, the author is well aware that modifications of the physical characteristics of the various textile fibres are fundamentally determined by the chemical nature of the substances composing them, and he also recognizes that nothing is gained by simply labelling obscurities in behaviour as 'colloidal phenomena'.
