Utilization of various non-woven waste forms as reinforcement in polymeric composites 26 Jul 2013 | 02:59 pm
In this study, various forms of non-woven waste were recycled for the manufacture of composites by the extrusion technique. The performance of the composites, as well as the effect of the reprocessing...
Wool cortical cell-based porous films 26 Jul 2013 | 02:59 pm
The aim of this work is to improve the select mechanical properties of keratin films for biomedical application by exploiting the hierarchical cell structure of wool fibers in a simple and green proce...
Wool-derived keratin nanofiber membranes for dynamic adsorption of heavy-metal ions from aqueous solutions 26 Jul 2013 | 02:59 pm
Membranes made of randomly oriented wool-derived keratin nanofibers (~240 nm mean diameter), were prepared by electrospinning process, and tested for the Cu(II), Ni(II), and Co(II) metal ion removal f...
About the collinear four-point probe techniques inability to measure the resistivity of anisotropic electroconductive fabrics 26 Jul 2013 | 02:59 pm
The sheet resistance of electrically conducting screen-printed surfaces can be measured with different techniques such as Van Der Pauw or four-point probe. As electroconductive textile materials show ...
Development of indirect method for clothing pressure measurement using three-dimensional imaging 26 Jul 2013 | 02:59 pm
A direct measurement method using an air-pack-type pressure sensor has been used widely to obtain clothing pressure, but this method still has many limitations. For instance, it gives only pointwise i...
Improvement of soil release from polyester fabric with atmospheric pressure plasma jet 26 Jul 2013 | 02:59 pm
Polyester fabrics were exposed to an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) to improve their detergency performance. Surface characterization of the polyester fibers showed that wettability, surface f...
Improving the photocatalytic properties of rayon fibers containing a titanium dioxide photocatalyst through enzymatic treatment 26 Jul 2013 | 02:59 pm
When titanium dioxide is irradiated with light, electrons and electron holes are generated. These exert strong reductive and oxidative forces, which induce reaction with atmospheric water and oxygen, ...
In situ generation and deposition of nano-ZnO on cotton fabric by hyperbranched polymer for its functional finishing 26 Jul 2013 | 02:59 pm
Due to the advantage of hyperbranched polymers on controlling synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs), this paper presents a method to fabricate ZnO NPs coated cotton fabrics via in situ generation and depos...
Experimental characterization by fluorescence of capillary flows in dual-scale engineering fabrics 26 Jul 2013 | 02:59 pm
Liquid composite molding (LCM) is an increasingly used family of processes to manufacture composite parts. In LCM, the fibrous reinforcement is first laid in a mold cavity. After closure of the mold o...
A rapid measurement for cotton breeders of maturity and fineness from developing and mature fibers 25 Jul 2013 | 02:08 pm
The Cottonscope simultaneously measures a cotton fiber’s maturity and fineness using a small amount of fiber sample. A program of testing was devised to establish the potential and capabilities of the...
