  • Microfibers Lesson (Approximately 30-40 Mins)
    Microfibers Lesson (Approximately 30-40 mins) Intro – (pairs/small groups) • Tell youth: “Take a moment and think about all the things you use and/or come in contact with each day that are made of plastic.” • In pairs/small groups: brainstorm/write list of plastic items they use in everyday life (2 mins) • Share out some items • How does plastic get into our waterways and the Puget Sound? (littering, stormdrains, boats/ships….washing our clothes!) • Alarming stat: More than 400 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide each year, with over 8 million tons winding up in the oceans. Huge contributor to plastic pollution in our waterways are: MICROFIBERS. What do you know about microfibers? • What are microfibers? o Tiny strands of plastic (>5mm) that are woven together to create synthetic fabrics o Synthetic fabrics = polyester, acrylic, spandex, nylon, rayon (Natural fabrics = cotton, wool) o **Have people look at tags on their shirts, jackets, etc., and see how many people are wearing synthetic clothing** o A recent study: of all the human-made material found on the shoreline across the globe, 85% were microfibers and matched the types of material (such as nylon & polyester) used in clothing. Microfibers video - Is Your Fleece Jacket Polluting the Oceans? • Stop the video at :53 and study the graphics: What do they mean? • Stop at 3:30 – Small group discussion: o How should this problem be solved? Who is responsible? Have youth think about what steps they would take to solve this problem. Write these potential responsible parties on the board: Wastewater treatment plants, washing machine manufacturers, individuals/consumers, clothing companies, corporations creating these synthetic fibers from petroleum, government o Have groups share out ideas and write them on the board.

Animal & Poultry Production Division, Desert Research Center, Egypt. [email protected] Abstract: Three hundred kg of raw camel-hair fibers (Magrabi camels) were collected during shearing season from Camel Research Station located in Matroh Governorate. The amount of camel-hair was subjectively classified into four categories control (C1, has no classification), coarse brown fibers (C2), coarser with white fibers liken to wool kemp fiber (C3) and fine fibers (C4). Results indicate that fine camel hair contains higher amount of B, Cd, Co, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni and S compared with coarse fibers, while coarse fibers had higher Mo, Pb and Zn than fine fibers. Coarse fibers had the highest values of amino acids (THR, SER, GLU, GLY, ALA, VAL, MET, ILE, LEU, TYR, PHE, HIS, LYS, ARG and PRO). Sulfur content of camel hair takes an opposite trend of both MET and CYS with FD, SDFD, B-force, CV of B-force, CV of tenacity, yarn metric count, Twists/meter, twist multipliers and abrasion. Copper, which involved in forming pigments found to be higher in brown coarse categories C1 and C2. Hair bundle elongation reached the maximum in C4 (34.4%), while the lowest percentage found in C3 (4.6%). Category (4) had higher twist multipliers 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 times those of C3, C2 and C1, respectively. Fine fibers selecting subjectively from the camel-hair fleeces had a good quality as raw material and yarn.

    16 Textiles in defence* Richard A Scott Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency, Science and Technology Division, Flagstaff Road, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS, UK 16.1 Introduction To be prepared for War is one of the most effectual means of preserving Peace (George Washington, 1790)1 Defence forces on land, sea, or air throughout the world are heavily reliant on tech- nical textiles of all types – whether woven, knitted, nonwoven, coated, laminated, or other composite forms. Technical textiles offer invaluable properties for military land forces in particular, who are required to move, live, survive and fight in hostile environments. They have to carry or wear all the necessities for comfort and sur- vival and thus need the most lightweight, compact, durable, and high performance personal clothing and equipment. The life-critical requirements for protecting indi- viduals from both environmental and battlefield threats have ensured that the major nations of the world expend significant resources in developing and providing the most advanced technical textiles for military use. 16.2 Historical background Military textile science is not new, and one of the earliest documented studies can probably be credited to Count Rumford, or Benjamin Thompson. Rumford was an American army colonel and scientist who issued a paper in 1792 entitled ‘Philo- sophical Transactions’, which reported on the importance of internally trapped air in a range of textile fabrics to the thermal insulation provided by those fabrics.2 He was awarded the Copley Medal for his paper, as the significance of his discovery was recognised immediately. * Copyright MOD (1997) DCTA, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS 426 Handbook of technical textiles 16.2.1 Pre-Twentieth century Up until the end of the 19th century military land battles were fought at close quar- ters by individual engagements.

  • ALDI Textiles
    ALDI Textiles ALDI Textiles Guideline 2 Aloe Vera. Recognises the demand all on its own. A Aloe vera micro capsules are attached to the textile fibres using a binder. The friction from wearing causes the microcapsules to burst and release the moisturising substance. The advantage of the microcapsules is the fact that the encapsulated substance is only released when the fabric is mechanically stressed. Through the addition of the aloe vera capsules, the garment hydrates and moisturises the skin. Anti-Pilling. Reduces pilling. A Anti-pilling is a special finishing process for reducing the formation of pilling, meaning lint, in predominantly synthetic materials. This is primarily achieved through a mechanical process or heat treatment. ALDI Textiles Guideline 3 Breathable. Keeps you dry and keeps moisture away. B Breathable fabrics are defined as textiles which possess certain physiological properties which above all wick moisture away from the skin. Such materials may also be water-resistant and therefore protect against rain. See also: Cool & Fresh, COOLMAX® ALDI Textiles Guideline 4 Cotton. The all-rounder among textiles. C Cotton is derived from the soft seed hair of the cotton plant. The plant thrives in countries with a sub-tropical climate, such as the USA, Egypt, India, and South Africa, and in terms of volume is one of the most important raw textiles materials in the world. The quality of cotton wool is dependent on its fineness, strength, fibre length and consistency. See also: Wool, virgin wool, organic cotton, Pima cotton PROPERTIES: It is skin-friendly: Due to its softness, it is very pleasant on the skin.

Slow production of and limited land availability for ruminant animals, high feed cost and disease threats, including bird flu, in poultry production caused a significant raise of rabbit farming in Asia, and particularly in many areas in Asean countries. A drastic increase of rabbit farming and number of farmers occurred in Asia especially in China. Most of farms operations are small in scale and fed primarily on forage and by product feeds.
