چکیده

Thermal degradation of modern and ancient linen fabrics was investigated by DSC and FTIR analysis in order to find a possible correlation between thermal behaviour and the age of linen. A similar pattern to that for cotton degradation was found, and the essential influence of impurities occurring naturally or occasionally was found. Moreover, in the case of old linen fabrics, a cleaning treatment can induce chemical degradation, which is favoured by fibre-weakening, as confirmed by SEM analysis. Although a possible ageing effect seems to be hidden by interference sources, thermal data can provide very helpful information about the status of an ancient linen fabric.

Use of Nanomaterials in Textiles

The textile industry is one of the most important consumer goods industries worldwide. Its mostly small and medium-sized enterprises produce textiles for various uses such as clothing, home textiles (such as bed and table linen, kitchen towels and cleaning rags), household textiles (such as curtains, furniture fabrics, textile floor coverings) and technical textiles (such as protective clothing...

Effect of carbon black and fly ash co-fillers content on mechanical and thermal behaviors of styrene butadiene rubber compounds

Fly ash (FA) is produced as a waste byproduct during the burning process of coal in thermal power plants whose cost is primarily associated to cleaning and transportation. It possesses mechanical properties on account of its constituents like silica and alumina. The use of FA as filler in styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) was of researchers’ interest to reinforce and/or to reduce product cost. In ...

Open-Hole Size and Thermal Cycling Effects on Mass Loss and Surface Degradation of Polymer Matrix Composites

Degradation is a common problem for polymer matrix composites (PMCs) under low thermal cycling conditions. This paper investigates the effects of low thermal cycling on total mass loss (TML) and surface degradation of PMCs. Unnotched and open-hole specimens were weighed before and after low thermal cycling. The total mass loss and surface degradation of the specimens were studied over 250 cycle...

Comparative study of degradation of PP modified with organic pro-degradant subjected to natural and artificial ageing

In abiotic degradation the action of light radiation is one of the most important parameters, because polymers undergo degradation due to the action of light (natural or artificial). The aim of this study was to investigate the degradation rate for samples of polypropylene (PP) modified with an organic pro-degradant submitted to ageing in a natural environment and to accelerated ageing test. Th...
