Abstract |
Textile fibres form the basic material for the preparation of netting yarns. These can be broadly classified as natural fibres and man made fibres. Natural fibres are grouped into two, fibres from animal origin and vegetable origin of which the latter alone has significance in the fishing industry. Man made fibres are classified as natural polymers manufactured by the alternation of natural polymers like cellulose and protein and synthetic polymers obtained by synthesis or chemical process of which synthetic polymers are used for netting yarns. |
