Using Taguchi Method to Optimize Recovery of Bismuth by Electrolysis

This paper presents a methodology, based on the taguchi parameter design approach, for the optimization of process parameters for bismuth recovery from aqueous solutions. The process parameters considered are [Bi3+], [NaCl], temperature, and cathodic current density. In addition, cell voltage and current efficiency as two responses have been considered. An orthogonal array L9, the signal-to-noi...

Multifunctional graphene woven fabrics

Tailoring and assembling graphene into functional macrostructures with well-defined configuration are key for many promising applications. We report on a graphene-based woven fabric (GWF) prepared by interlacing two sets of graphene micron-ribbons where the ribbons pass each other essentially at right angles. By using a woven copper mesh as the template, the GWF grown from chemical vapour depos...

Woven Fabrics Surface Quantification

Investigation of Air Permeability of Cotton & Modal Knitted Fabrics

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the porosity / compactness of the knitted structures made from cotton and modal yarns and to evaluate the air permeability property for sportswear. In the experimental section, cotton and modal yarns spun in different counts ( Ne 30, Ne 40 ) with the same twist coefficient of αe = 3.53 and 3.3 respectively were knitted as single jersey fabrics in the s...
