This paper provides an overview of studies conducted in the dye chemistry laboratories that were directed towards the design, synthesis, and evaluation of dyes for polyester fibers for applications requiring high light fastness. The paper presents the results from the early studies in our program that involved characterizing the chemistry...
Comfort characteristics of plain-woven fabrics, containing viscose staple fiber twist-less and hollow fibrous assemblies and core-sheath type DREF-III yarn in weft, have been reported in this paper. The twist-less and hollow fibrous assemblies are the individually separated parallel core and annular sheath components respectively of core-sheath type DREF-III yarn. In...
Moisture management often refers to the transport of both moisture vapor and liquid away from the body. Moisture vapor can pass through openings between fibers or yarns. In the case of cotton or other hydrophilic fibers, the fiber can serve as a buffer by absorbing moisture vapor and adding to...
Several theoretical models have been proposed in the past for predicting the basic mechanical properties of thermally point bonded non-wovens from structural features of the constituents. However, the role of bond geometry, distribution, and related fiber properties were not taken into account. This paper describes a mechanics based model to...
Polyester arterial prostheses experience losses in strength and molecular weight while implanted in humans over extended periods. This study uses thermal analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and vapor phase dyeing techniques to characterize changes in the microstructure of polyethylene terephthalate biotextiles retrieved from patients after 2 to 16 years in vivo. It...
The paper outlines a technique to simulate the drawing of fiber through pins, such as is encountered on a gill box. While there are obvious differences because the present test is essentially "static" as opposed to the dynamic situation during drafting, it was believed that this should provide some insight...
The efforts to establish links between processing conditions and the structure and properties of nonwoven fabrics in general, and for point-bonded (spot-bonded) nonwovens in particular, would be served significantly by an in situ experimental visualization and measurement of the structural changes, which occur during controlled-deformation experiments. In this paper, structural...
