I don't remember just how I learned about particular fibers. I was just keen for all the news about composite materials and general lightweight construction. Rope makers don't develop fibers; they are textile workers for what becomes available. To study fibers in isolation is difficult, but I find the whole field fascinating, and one of the pioneers is also a superb author - J.E. Gordon. "The New Science of Strong Materials" goes into detail on how fiberglass began, and just what is going on at the tip of crack. "Structures" also includes a lot on materials, and has a superb section on lightweight design, and why we use ropes.
