The aim of this study was to investigate the effect modern ultrasound sewing on quality synthetic leather garments. This research that has been applied will provide information about technology and help factories move towards these technologies in order auxiliary materials reduce environmental waste results from traditional sewing. includes recent developments construction sewing, paper present...

Petroleum-based synthetic plastics used for making consumer articles constitute the largest non-renewable source of municipal solid waste in the United States. Containers and packaging products represent the largest group within plastic waste in municipal landfills. Efforts are being made worldwide to search for renewable and biodegradable substitutes for non-biodegradable plastics. Starch from...

This article reflects on the evolution of rubber (natural latex) production and aspects its bloody, colonial history, noting varied applications in objects around us. The author shows why is a product need Fair Trade label to promote good conditions for tappers, farmers workers, despite being rejected as candidate by FLO international. Lessons are drawn from Fairtrade certification criteria des...

Toluene (methylbenzene) is a colourless liquid used as a solvent in the manufacture of synthetic rubber paint and lacquer as well as trinitrotoluene (Fairhall, 1957). Chronic or acute exposure to high concentrations is known to be toxic and to cause renal and hepatocellular damage (O'Brien, Yeoman, and Hobby, 1971). This report deals with severe myoglobinuria and acute renal failure necessitati...

BACKGROUND Composition of Latex Latex products are manufactured from a milky fluid derived from the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. Several chemicals are added to this fluid during the processing and manufacture of commercial latex. Some proteins in latex can cause a range of mild to severe allergic reactions. Currently available methods of measurement do not provide easy or consistent identif...

A conformable phased array device is being developed that allows reliable ultrasonic inspection of components with irregular surfaces. The device uses a standard linear phased array transducer, which is coupled to the surface under test by a water path, encapsulated by a low loss, synthetic rubber membrane. A comparison of results obtained using conventional ultrasonic techniques and the confor...
