Here, in situ synthesis of nano zinc oxide, along with aminolysis of polyester fabric, has simultaneously been carried out by using triethanol amine (TEA) and zinc acetate. The ZnO nano particles (NPs) were formed and stabilized on the fabric surface by amine compound at 130 °C for 1 h. The synthesis of nano ZnO particles on the polyester fabric were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern...

AbstrAct A Web-based fabric database is introduced in terms of its physical structure, software system architecture , basic and intelligent search engines, and various display methods for search results. A fuzzy linear clustering method is used to predict fabric drape coefficient from fabric mechanical and structural properties. Experimental data indicate that fuzzy linear clustering is quite e...

Bhaktapur is known as one of the historic cities World Heritage Site in Kathmandu Valley. The authors have been conducting research to clarify formational process urban blocks old city with a focus on two perspectives―urban fabric and exterior design dwellings. As result that, methods shown for grasping process. This paper use these understand confirm that results match. Finally, it presents st...

Focusing on the post-independence municipal administration of Santiago, this article presents a microhistorical exploration how minor infrastructure projects, such as street paving and bridge repairs, shaped city’s urban fabric, unveiling political, economic, social dimensions behind these everyday processes.
