Heat Durability of Polyester-Polyester Block Copolymer.

Heat – Mechanically Induced Structure Development in Undrawn Polyester Fibers

Synthetic polyester from algae oil.

Current efforts to technically use microalgae focus on the generation of fuels with a molecular structure identical to crude oil based products. Here we suggest a different approach for the utilization of algae by translating the unique molecular structures of algae oil fatty acids into higher value chemical intermediates and materials. A crude extract from a microalga, the diatom Phaeodactylum...

Sucrose polyester in human volunteers.

The recent publication by Kelly et al. (1998) of their study on sucrose polyesters (SPE) raised concerns about the possible gastrointestinal (GI) and nutritional effects of olestra. These concerns were echoed in the popular press (‘Doubts raised over anti-obesity fat substitute’. The Times, 11 August 1998.). Olestra’s potential to cause GI and nutritional effects has been carefully reviewed by ...

Chemical characterisation of the fracture surfaces of polyester resin and a polyester based nanocomposite

A novel in situ fracture stage has been used to conduct micro compact tension (micro-CT) tests within the preparation chamber of a time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) instrument. Tests have been undertaken in the usual ultra high vacuum (UHV) conditions and in an ambient air atmosphere for comparison. A plain polyester resin system has been compared to an organically modif...

Comfort aspects of finished polyester-cotton and polyester-viscose ring and MJS yarn fabrics

The influence of different experimental conditions on the thermal comfort behavior of polyester-viscose and polyester-cotton ring and MJS yarn fabrics has been studied. The results show that the yarn structure and the fibre cross-sectional shape have a large influence on improving the thermal comfort of woven fabrics. The fabrics made from MJS yarns perform better than those of the ring yarn fa...
