Bleaching and Related Processes: As Applied to Textile Fibers and Other Mati (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from Bleaching and Related Processes: As Applied ...)
Excerpt from Bleaching and Related Processes: As Applied to Textile Fibers and Other Mati While the main theme herein is that of textile bleaching and scour ing, there is also included a discussion of the topic Of bleaching as extended to other fields of industry. As these fields, as a rule, have not been subjected to any degree Of scientific investigation or method, they can be dealt with in only a comparatively sketchy and inadequate manner. I realize these limitations, but hope that this publication may serve as an incentive towards an increased interest in these fields and that students will recognize them as interesting possibilities for fruitful research.

Excerpt from The Textile Fibres: Their Physical, Microscopical, and Chemical Properties The present book, it is hoped, will be of assistance to both the practical operator in textiles and the student on textile subjects. It has been the outgrowth of a number of years of experience in the teaching of textile chemistry, as well as prae tical observation in the many mill problems which have come under the notice of the author.

Joseph Merritt Matthews
Edit ProfileEducation
He attended the University of Pennsylvania, receiving the degrees of B. S. in 1895 and Ph. D. in 1898.
Career
Appointed professor of chemistry and dyeing in the Philadelphia Textile School in 1898, he became interested in textile chemistry and dyestuff application and during the next few years he combined with teaching intensive study and writing. In 1904 he published The Textile Fibres, Their Physical, Microscopical and Chemical Properties, which, enlarged and republished in later editions, was a standard work of reference. In 1907 he resigned his position at the Philadelphia Textile School and for three years was manager of the dyeing department of the New England Cotton Yarn Company. In 1910 he entered a broader field, establishing himself as a consulting expert to the textile and dyestuff industries. In 1916 he became interested in the publication of the Color Trade Journal, an interest which he maintained first as editor and later as publisher. An extended development of his Laboratory Manual of Dyeing and Textile Chemistry (1909) appeared in 1920 under the title Application of Dyestuffs to Textiles, Paper, Leather and Other Materials, and in 1921 he published Bleaching and Related Processes. During his later years he was greatly handicapped by failing health and in 1925 he found it necessary to retire from all active work. The remaining years of his life were spent on the French Riviera, in Bermuda, and finally in San Diego, Cal. , where he died.
Achievements
-
Matthews served as professor of chemistry and dyeing in the Philadelphia Textile School from 1898 to 1907. Also known as a consulting expert to the textile and dyestuff industries. He was regularly retained by a number of prominent textile and dyestuff interests and through this consulting practice, which involved a vast amount of industrial research, he gained recognized standing in his profession. He was a member of the Chemist's Club in New York and for many years maintained a research laboratory and office in their building. He was also an active member of many technical and scientific societies, among them the American Chemical Society, the Society of Chemical Industry, the Society of Dyers and Colourists of England, a charter member of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists, and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
