  • A Research on Yarn and Fabric Characteristics of Acrylic/Wool/Angora Blends
    (REFEREED RESEARCH) A RESEARCH ON YARN AND FABRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ACRYLIC/WOOL/ANGORA BLENDS AKRİLİK/YÜN/ANGORA LİFİ KARIŞIMLARINDAN ÜRETİLEN İPLİK VE KUMAŞLARIN ÖZELLİKLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA Gamze SÜPÜREN MENGÜÇ * Ege University, Emel Akın Vocational Training School, 35100, Bornova-İzmir, Turkey Received: 05.01.2016 Accepted : 09.03.2016 ABSTRACT Acrylic fibers are one of the most commonly used synthetic fibers and due to its low thermal conductivity, good shape retention and durability properties, they have a large application area in knitted garment industry. Acrylic fibers are also used in blends to benefit from more prominent features of other fibers. Wool with having good wrinkle resistance, moisture absorption and warmth is a good blend material for acrylic. In order to get superior tactile properties, luxury animal fibers can also be used in acrylic blends, despite there are spinning difficulties and production limitations for these fibers. In this study, acrylic fiber and its blends with wool and Angora rabbit fiber were investigated for their yarn and fabric properties. According to the experimental results and the statistical analyses, it was concluded that, blending acrylic fiber with wool and Angora rabbit fiber, increases the CVm, thin/thick places and neps of the yarn. Yarns containing 100% acrylic and 70% acrylic/10% wool/20% angora have the highest tensile strength. In case of yarn friction coefficients, 70% acrylic /20% wool /10% angora containing yarn has the highest coefficient of yarn to pin and yarn to yarn friction values. However, 70% acrylic/30% angora and 100% acrylic yarns have lower values, supplying smoother yarn surface.

Master's thesis in Applied Mechanics ELIAS BLOMSTRAND MIKE DEMANT Department of Applied Mechanics Division of Solid Mechanics Chalmers University of Technology Abstract Badminton, said to be the worlds fastest ball sport, is a fairly unknown sport from a scientific point of view. There has been great progress made to get from the old wooden rackets of the 19th century to the light-weight high performance composite ones used today, but the development process is based on a trial and error method rather than on scientific knowledge. The limited amount of existing studies indicate that racket parameters like shaft stiffness, center of gravity and head geometry affect the performance of the racket greatly.

  • Sea-Silk Based Nanofibers and Their Diameter Prediction THERMAL SCIENCE: Year 2019, Vol
    Tian, D., et al.: Sea-Silk Based Nanofibers and Their Diameter Prediction THERMAL SCIENCE: Year 2019, Vol. 23, No. 4, pp. 2253-2256 2253 SEA-SILK BASED NANOFIBERS AND THEIR DIAMETER PREDICTION by * Dan TIAN, Chan-Juan ZHOU, and Ji-Huan HE National Engineering Laboratory for Modern Silk, College of Textile and Clothing Engineering, Soochow University, Suzhou, China Original scientific paper https://doi.org/10.2298/TSCI1904253T Diameter of sea-silk based nanofibers prepared by electrospinning is closely re- lated to the concentrations of sea-silk solution. A mathematical model is estab- lished according the mass conservation law in fluid mechanics to predict the di- ameter of fibers, and the MATLAB software is used to fit the experiment value. The results show that the fitted equation is quite accurate and efficient for estimating the diameter of fibers with different concentrations. Key words: electrospinning, sea-silk, mathematical model, nanofiber, fiber’s diameter. Introduction Electrospinning is an effective way to prepare nanofibers, it is a fabrication process that uses an electric field to control the deposition of polymer fibers onto a receptor [1-8]. In electrospinning process, the diameter of nanofiber is determined by many factors, like volt- age, viscosity of solution, receptor’s distance, environment temperature, environment humidi- ty, etc. [9, 10]. Nanofiber’s diameter and morphology can also be controlled by additives [11]. The sea silk is one of the oldest natural silks, which has a history of more than 5000 years [12-16], and now we can produce artificial sea silk through Mytilus edulis. To this end, we extract protein from Mytilus edulis and then use it as an additive for electrospinning, this maybe has some effects on the morphology of fibers.

  • Natural, Artificial and Synthetic Fibres: Because There Are Differences...There Are Many...And It Is Important to Know Them
    Deepening T.SILK | Natural, artificial and synthetic fibers. Because there are the differences… there are many… and it is important to know them Natural, artificial and synthetic fibres: because there are differences...there are many...and it is important to know them. Natural fibres are those obtained through simple mechanical processes that do not modify the structure. They differ between natural fibres of animal origin (wool, angora fur, camel fur, cashmere fur, mohair fur, alpaca fur, llama fur, vicuna fur, bison fur, qiviut fur, sea silk, down) and vegetable (cotton, linen, hemp, jute, ramie or nettle, sisal, coconut, broom, hibiscus, manila, straw, bamboo, soy, kapok). - Silk Chemically: • Fibroin – highly biocompatible and biodegradable natural polymer protein (carbon 47.6% Hydrogen 6.39% Nitrogen 18.33% Oxygen 27.68%) • Sericin – natural protein with a unique affinity to other human proteins (carbon 46.50% Hydrogen 6.04% Nitrogen 16.50% Oxygen 30.96%) Amino acid components: GLYCINE (Helps to trigger the oxygen release process) - ALANINE (Important source of energy for muscle tissue) - SERINE (Source of glucose storage in the liver and muscles) - ASPARTIC ACID (Helps the expulsion of harmful ammonia from the body) - GLUTAMIC ACID (Considered as a natural "food for the mind") - VALINE (Stimulates mental vigour and muscle coordination) - PROLINE (Important for the correct functioning of joints and tendons) - THREONINE (Important constituent of collagen) - LYSINE (Ensures adequate calcium absorption) - ARGININE (Improves the immune

  • The Peculiar Protein Ultrastructure of Fan Shell and Pearl Oyster Byssus
    Soft Matter View Article Online PAPER View Journal | View Issue A new twist on sea silk: the peculiar protein ultrastructure of fan shell and pearl oyster byssus† Cite this: Soft Matter, 2018, 14,5654 a a b b Delphine Pasche, * Nils Horbelt, Fre´de´ric Marin, Se´bastien Motreuil, a c d Elena Macı´as-Sa´nchez, Giuseppe Falini, Dong Soo Hwang, Peter Fratzl *a and Matthew James Harrington *ae Numerous mussel species produce byssal threads – tough proteinaceous fibers, which anchor mussels in aquatic habitats. Byssal threads from Mytilus species, which are comprised of modified collagen proteins – have become a veritable archetype for bio-inspired polymers due to their self-healing properties. However, threads from different species are comparatively much less understood. In particular, the byssus of Pinna nobilis comprises thousands of fine fibers utilized by humans for millennia to fashion lightweight golden fabrics known as sea silk. P. nobilis is very different from Mytilus from an ecological, morphological and evolutionary point of view and it stands to reason that the structure– Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence. function relationships of its byssus are distinct. Here, we performed compositional analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to investigate byssal threads of P. nobilis, as well as a closely related bivalve species (Atrina pectinata) and a distantly related one (Pinctada fucata). Received 20th April 2018, This comparative investigation revealed that all three threads share a similar molecular superstructure Accepted 18th June 2018 comprised of globular proteins organized helically into nanofibrils, which is completely distinct from DOI: 10.1039/c8sm00821c the Mytilus thread ultrastructure, and more akin to the supramolecular organization of bacterial pili and F-actin.
