A common complaint among patients with burns is their inability to grasp items while wearing compression gloves. Recent technological innovations permit the addition of grip-enhancing material to garment fabric. The purpose of this case series was to describe the course of development of compression gloves with enhanced grip modifications. Five different types of grip modifications were made du...

S U M M A R Y Quantitative correlations between the magnetic fabric (magnetic susceptibility or remanent magnetic anisotropies), single mineral anisotropy , and preferred mineral orientation is investigated using computer modelling. The influences of various initial fabric patterns and imposed strain on the magnetic fabric are simulated using multiparticle systems represented by their magnetic ...

ActiveGuard Mattress Liners have been used to control house dust mites, and they also are commercially available as an integrated pest management tool for use against bed bugs (Cimex lectularius). The aim of our study was to evaluate responses of numerous populations of the bed bug to the permethrin-impregnated fabric, with particular regard to contact toxicity, repellency, and feeding inhibiti...

BACKGROUND The ultraviolet properties of textiles dyed with synthetic dyes have been widely reported in literature. However, no study has investigated the ultraviolet properties of natural fabrics dyed with natural colorants. This study reports the Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of cotton fabrics dyed with colorants of plant and insect origins. METHODS Three cotton fabrics were dyed with...

Kevlar is a type of aramid fibers which is characterized by high strength to low weight ratio. This material is widely used in bulletproof vests and helmets, in which it creates a barrier to projectiles to protect specific objectives, laminated tubes and pressure vessels, etc. In this study the ballistic behavior of Kevlar /epoxy composite and Kevlar fabric is investigated. The results showed t...

Defects are generated in woven fabric due to improper treatments in weaving machines, spinning errors and inadequate preparations of fiber at the spinning stage. The economic viability of a weaving plant is significantly influenced by the extent of its success in eliminating defects in fabric. Detection of defects is generally carried out by time consuming and tedious human inspection. Such man...

The effects of pressure, water and differential stress on the crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) of olivine were investigated by an integrated study on 13 peridotite samples from four areas in the Western Gneiss Region (WGR) of the Norwegian Caledonides. The highly depleted dunites are mantle residues after Archean melt extraction, while the garnet peridotites were formed by refertili...

Study the effect of blending hydrophilic agent and water and oil repellent agent on cotton fabric property of antifouling and easy decontaminating. The study shows that blending could make the fabric have property of antifouling and easy decontaminating.

in this work, hydrogel nanocomposites were synthesized by solution polymerization of acrylic acid (aa) and itaconic acid (ia) in the presence of cotton fabric. ammonium persulfate (aps) was used as the polymerization initiator in the presence of a crosslinker, methylene bisacrylamide (mba). insertion of ag followed by reduction of ag+ cations results in a hydrogel nanocomposite. the structure a...
