The present study aimed to develop a novel temperature and pressure-controlled hybrid system (Cent-Hydro) for large-scale nanofiber production. Nanofibers from a hydrophilic carrier matrix were prepared using the Cent-Hydro system. This study explore...
The mechanical properties of single flax fibers are characterized here as a function of dew retting. The fibers are measured using micromechanical and nanomechanical techniques over a large retting period (91 days). Damage-free single flax fibers in...
This study aims at the modification of the surface properties of twill-5 polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabric, in particular to improve its hydrophilicity. It compares the hydrophilic potential and efficacy of two vinyl monomers radically grafted...
This study shows the influence of the inclusion of abaca fiber (Musa Textilis) on the coefficients of consolidation, expansion, and compression for normally consolidated clayey silt organic soil specimens using reconstituted samples. For this purpose...
The tensile properties of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based and pitch-based single carbon fibers were assessed using Raman scattering. Parameters and ratios related to Raman scattering and stress measurement for the G- and D-bands were analyzed. These in...
Carbon fiber is known for being lightweight and adaptable, making it useful for various current and future applications. However, to broaden the use of carbon fibers beyond niche applications, production costs must be lowered. A potential approach to...
Cotton and polyester fiber blends are commonly used to improve the aesthetic features of finished items. The denim industry’s growing need for polyester fiber aids in analyzing the performance of denim fabrics woven from rigid and stretched wef...
The discrimination of five subtypes of regenerated cellulose fibers, i.e., viscose, bamboo, lyocell, modal, and cupro, from both men’s and women’s clothing available on the prevalent apparel market was described. The examinations were conducted using...
Cashmere is widely acclaimed as one of the most luxurious textile fibers. Mongolia, a major player in cashmere production and processing, is key to this industry. Despite the rich history of cashmere, there is limited research on cashmere fiber prope...
As an alternative to cotton, viscose and lyocell fibers are suitable for the production of knitted next-to-skin underwear. Despite the advantages of a more environmentally friendly production process and valuable properties, the consumption of lyocel...
Textile products comprise approximately 10% of the total global carbon footprint. Standard practice is to discard apparel textile waste after use, which pollutes the environment. There are professional collectors, charity organizations, and municipal...
Microfibers are small fiber particles that separate from larger textiles through wear abrasion or home laundering. Pervasive accumulation of synthetic microfibers in the environment is motivating efforts to quantify them, and to gain a better underst...
Compression therapy can be successfully applied to the treatment of amputated limbs. Compression is known to speed healing and reduce the appearance of complex scars. This is particularly relevant as the number of amputations increases, especially du...
Several researchers have studied how impact loads from impact hazards affect reinforced concrete (RC) slabs. There is relatively little research on impact loading effects on pre-stressed structures. The usage of fibers in structural elements intrigue...
The use of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) is crucial in industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and marine, due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. However, machining CFRP is challenging due to its abrasi...
