London, 16 March 2011

Six years after the publication of the book Cotton Facts, the ICAC has published a new book called Cotton: Technology for the 21st Century.

The book has 16 chapters, each contributed by highly respected and internationally recognized authors from across the world. Cotton: Technology for the 21st Century begins with the origin of the cotton species and ends with a provocative look at how world production and demand may change in the 21st century.

The book is devoted to future trends in ever-changing cotton production technology and research. Pest control, sustainability, biotechnology, fiber quality measurements, yarn processing and dyeing/finishing form substantial parts of the book. The table of contents is available at:
