  • 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).

    12/19/2018 1953 New Year Honours 1953 New Year Honours The New Year Honours 1953 for the United Kingdom were announced on 30 December 1952,[1] to celebrate the year passed and mark the beginning of 1953. This was the first New Year Honours since the accession of Queen Elizabeth II. The Honours list is a list of people who have been awarded one of the various orders, decorations, and medals of the United Kingdom. Honours are split into classes ("orders") and are graded to distinguish different degrees of achievement or service, most medals are not graded. The awards are presented to the recipient in one of several investiture ceremonies at Buckingham Palace throughout the year by the Sovereign or her designated representative. The orders, medals and decorations are awarded by various honours committees which meet to discuss candidates identified by public or private bodies, by government departments or who are nominated by members of the public.[2] Depending on their roles, those people selected by committee are submitted to Ministers for their approval before being sent to the Sovereign for final The insignia of the Grand Cross of the approval. As the "fount of honour" the monarch remains the final arbiter for awards.[3] In the case Order of St Michael and St George of certain orders such as the Order of the Garter and the Royal Victorian Order they remain at the personal discretion of the Queen.[4] The recipients of honours are displayed here as they were styled before their new honour, and arranged by honour, with classes (Knight, Knight Grand Cross, etc.) and then divisions (Military, Civil, etc.) as appropriate.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.
