Fibres & Textiles in Eastern Europe�is a scientific journal, published in English with Polish abstracts, devoted to scientific research & development of the manufacturing and processing of fibre-grade polymers, including biopolymers, fibres, fibrous products, and textile technologies. Some of the problems discussed in the journal are trends in fibre development, theory and practice of new technologies and techniques for manufacturing and modifying polymers, fibres and textiles, among others, by means of waste free,� biotechnological processes and the manufacturing of special fibres and fibrous products, especially from modified natural and synthetic polymers such as cellulose derivatives, lignins, chitin and chitosan. Special attention is paid to works presenting problems related to bioactivity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, textile waste utilisation and waste-water.
The Institute of Biopolymers and Chemical Fibres conducts reseach, and development works �and is engaged in the implementation of research results to commercial practice.
The domains of activity include:
Processing, modification and application of bioplymers
Manufacture, processing and application of chemical fibres and other polymeric and similar products
Manufacture, processing and quality assessment of pulp and paper- and similar� products
