RELATIONS BETWEEN THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF A TEXTILE COMPOSITES FABRIC AND ITS COMPONENT FABRIC

Electronic properties of carbon nanotube/fabric composites

Single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)/fabric composite materials were manufactured using two simple manufacturing processes. The first method is direct deposition of SWNTs by either a spray method or by incubation; the other is a Quasi-Langmuir–Blodgett (QLB) transfer technique. The composite retains high mechanical strength (governed by the fabric), and good electrical properties (determined by...

Thermomechanical Properties of Woven Fabric Composites

The in-plane thermo-elastic behaviour of woven fabric reinforced composites is analysed using a combination of published micromechanics and finite element techniques. The repetitive unit of an arbitrary woven fabric composite is divided into elements of which the thermo-elastic properties are determined using micromechanics. The properties of the repetitive unit are obtained using the finite el...

Machine Vision Inspection of Web Textile Fabric

The paper describes instrumentation which uses machine vision to inspect rolls of web textile fabric in real time. This involves detection of "message" signals arising from defects buried in noise caused by fabric structure. Analogy with the detection of targets in radar and sonar is exploited to provide effective signal processing. The hardware implementation achieves efficiency with economy b...

THE STERILIZATION OF WOOL AND ITS EFFECT ON PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF A vVooL FABRIC!

The Sterilization of Wool and Its Effect on Physical and Chemical Properties of a Wool Fabric^

From the time wool grows on the sheep, on through the stages of manufacture and wear, the fibers are subject continually to contamination with micro-organisms. Included in this micro-organic flora may be the pathogenic organisms responsible for disease. There may also be other groups less dangerous to health but capable of multiplying rapidly under favorable conditions and causing the wool fibe...
