Tailoring cutinase activity towards polyethylene terephthalate and polyamide 6,6 fibers.
Cutinase from Fusarium solani pisi was genetically modified near the active site, by site-directed mutagenesis, to enhance its activity towards polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyamide 6,6 (PA 6,6) fibers. The mutations L81A, N84A, L182A, V184A and L189A were done to enlarge the active site in order to better fit a larger polymer chain. Modeling studies have shown enhanced free energy sta...
متن کاملConfinement-induced vitrification in polyethylene terephthalate
Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis performed on cold-drawn polyethylene terephthalate PET , cold crystallized annealed in the temperature interval 100–140 °C, reveals the presence of marginally glassy domains above the annealing temperature Ta. This suggests that the thermodynamic force driving crystallization causes the structural arrest of some noncrystalline domains. The latter thus need a ...
متن کاملEnhancing the Dyeability of Polypropylene Fibers by Melt Blending with Polyethylene Terephthalate
Attempts were made to modify polypropylene fibers by melt blending with polyethylene terephthalate in order to enhance the dyeability of the resultant fiber. Five blends of polypropylene/polyethylene terephthalate/compatibilizer were prepared and subsequently spun into fibers. Three disperse dyes were used to dye such modified fibers at boiling and 130 °C. The dyeing performance of the blend fi...
متن کاملBirefringence in Optical Fibers: Applications
As discussed in the previous chapter, the so-called single-mode fibers in fact support two modes simultaneously, which are orthogonally polarized. In an ideal circular-core fiber, these two modes will propagate with the same phase velocity; however, practical fibers are not perfectly circularly symmetric. As a result, the two modes propagate with slightly different phase and group velocities. F...
متن کاملPolyethylene Terephthalate May Yield Endocrine Disruptors
BACKGROUND Recent reports suggest that endocrine disruptors may leach into the contents of bottles made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET is the main ingredient in most clear plastic containers used for beverages and condiments worldwide and has previously been generally assumed not to be a source of endocrine disruptors. OBJECTIVE I begin by considering evidence that bottles made fr...
