Submicron surface - patterned fibers and textiles

Sub-Micrometer Surface-Patterned Ribbon Fibers and Textiles.

The worldwide annual production volume of textiles is nearly one hundred million metric tons. Most of these undergo treatments to achieve specific properties, such as color, hydrophobicity, antimicrobial, or UV protection, using chemicals that lead to collateral environmental consequences. There is great interest in developing alternative and sustainable strategies to achieve textile functional...

Fabrication, Characterization and Process Parameters Optimization of Electrospun 58S Bioactive Glass Submicron Fibers

Over the past decades, bioactive glass (BG) has been of a great interest in the bone regeneration field, due to its excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity and osteoconductivity. Herein, fabrication of bioactive glass as one-dimensional fibers by employing an Electrospinning process is reported. The Sol-Gel method was chosen considering the final fibers smoothness and homogeneity. Starting sol ...

A Study on the Kinetic and Thermodynamic Parameters of Different Acid Dyes on Nylon 6 Fibers

Enhancement of composite performance by hollow polyester fibers

Wet-spinning fabrication of shear-patterned alginate hydrogel microfibers and the guidance of cell alignment

Native tissue is naturally comprised of highly-ordered cell-matrix assemblies in a multi-hierarchical way, and the nano/submicron alignment of fibrous matrix is found to be significant in supporting cellular functionalization. In this study, a self-designed wet-spinning device appended with a rotary receiving pool was used to continuously produce shear-patterned hydrogel microfibers with aligne...
