Comparison between the monomer viscosity of this resin and the melt viscosity of polypropylene (PP) implied that thermoplastic epoxy resin can impregnate into fiber bundles approximately 103 times faster than PP. The investigation of resin applying method to carbon fiber fabrics revealed that linearly applying method was better than planarly applying method in terms of less voids. Finally, two types of polymerization catalysts were investigated to rapidly polymerize thermoplastic epoxy resin. As a result, as short as 2.5-minute polymerization using the phosphorous-type catalyst allowed the resin polymerize into high polymer enough to exhibit practical flexural strength of 900 MPa or more when used as the matrix of CFRTP in the volume fraction of about 50 %.

Improved swelling effect of cellulose after surface treatment is beneficial to contact of Mg(OH) 2 particles with cotton fiber. Due to good adhesion of Mg(OH) 2 particles to fiber surface after partial dissolution and resolidification of fragmented fibril, the flame retardancy of cotton fabric is significantly enhanced under plasma pretreatment with the afterflame time of 1.0 s and afterglow time of 2.0 s. It is found that cellulase treatment is a mild treating method while plasma pretreatment improves flame retardancy at a cost of damaging fiber in a reasonable range.","PeriodicalId":54299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fiber Science and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44022507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, oiland protein-based soil contents can be separately estimated using relative intensities of their characteristic IR bands of CH2 and CH3 stretching (2930 and 2850 cm) and Amide I (1650 cm), respectively. In case of washing at a rotation rate of 60 rpm, no change was observed for the detergency of oil-based component between 1 and 15 min, whereas the detergency of proteinbased component slightly increased over 10 min. By contrast, in case of washing at 120 rpm, the detergency of two soil components remarkably increased with an increase of washing time.

ESM has been reported to improve osteoarthritic knee pain when taken as a supplement and to have anti-fibrotic effects in rodents. ESM has physiological effects in vivo after digestion, absorption, and metabolism, but the mechanism of ESM efficacy remains unclear. We aimed to determine whether ESM is digested and absorbed by the body, although its metabolic mechanism has not been described. Although it is possible to create compounds labeled with single molecules, ESMs are insoluble, fibrillar, natural composite materials, and the molecular form of digested and absorbed ESM is unknown, so it is not possible to prepare synthetically labeled compounds. We developed a method for direct tritium labeling of ESM and investigated the absorption of the labeled ESM. Organic compounds, such as proteins, were mixed with lithium carbonate and then irradiated to label with 3 H produced by the 6 Li (n, α ) 3 H reaction. Mice were orally administered tritium-labeled ESM, and blood and tissue radioactivity were measured using a liquid scintillation counter. Tritium-labeled ESM was distributed in the blood and all tissues after oral administration. Our method enabled successful tritium labeling of fibrous ESM, which allowed for metabolic evaluation of the labeled ESM product as it was digested and absorbed by the organs of experimental mice. This advanced tritium recoiling labeling method can be used for in vivo tracking of complex acellular extracellular matrix bioscaffolds used in biomedical research.","PeriodicalId":54299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fiber Science and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42113585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thermo-sensitive inks show chromatic changes depending on temperature and we applied the ink on the single yarn as a thermo-indicator. The time depending temperature of the single paper yarn after contact on a heated metal plate showed a faster increase than that of the cotton yarns indicating the higher transverse heat conduction of the paper yarn. The observations of the microstructure of the yarns were investigated by Scanning electron microscope (SEM).

In particular the information on the behavior of the crystalline region is basically important. One typical experiment is to trace the structural change in the crystalline (and amorphous) region of the fiber subjected to a tensile force by measuring the change of the X-ray scattering pattern, for example. In principle, the mechanical property of the crystalline phase should be constant as an ultimate property of the semi-crystalline polymer materials. However, the actually detected mechanical deformation behavior of the crystalline region is not constant always but it changes sensitively depending on the sample preparation condition or the higher-order structure. This apparently curious behavior comes from the heterogeneous stress distribution in the fiber, which is speculated to be caused by the existence of the highly-tensioned tie chains in the amorphous region passing through the stacked lamellae. In the present article the important roles of the taut tie chains are reviewed concretely from the various aspects including the quantitative evaluation of the Youngʼs modulus along the chain axis (crystallite modulus), the clarification of the stress-induced phase transition, the improvement of the stress cracking property, the interpretation of fracture phenomenon and so on.","PeriodicalId":54299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fiber Science and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41882937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
