Several applications in tissue engineering require transplantation of cells embedded in appropriate biomaterial scaffolds. Such structures may consist of 3D non-woven fibrous materials whereas little is known about the impact of mesh size, pore architecture and fibre morphology on cellular behavior. In this study, we have developed polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) non-woven scaffolds with round, ...

Common cotton textiles are hydrophilic and oleophilic in nature. Superhydrophobic cotton textiles have the potential to be used as self-cleaning fabrics, but they typically are not super oil-repellent. Poor oil repellency may easily compromise the self-cleaning property of these fabrics. Here, we report on the preparation of superoleophobic cotton textiles based on a multilength-scale structure...

In this paper we propose an intelligent method for identifying several mechanical parameters of woven fabric. The mechanical fabric characterization requires several expensive experimental tests. An alternative to overcome this problem is to use an inverse identification based on simulation of drape test using the finite element method combined with a learning artificial neural networks. To do ...

The behavior of plain woven fabric composites is studied using three-dimensional finite elements which allows detailed modeling of the geometric complexities and spatial material variations within the fabric. Damages in the composite constituents viz. yarn and pure matrix are modeled on a continuum basis and related to their material constitutive behavior. The 3D constitutive laws describing pu...

This study aims to determine the ethnomathematics in process of making Kedang woven fabrics. The approach used is qualitative ethnographic research. subjects this consisted two weavers. data collection observation, interview, and documentation techniques. Data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. results showed that there are mathematical concepts can be observed fabrics, namely integers,...

The aim of this paper is to determine the heat transfer properties biaxial carbon fabrics different architectures, including non-crimp stitch bonded fabrics, plain, twill and satin woven fabrics. specific capacity was determined via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry). A novel method numerical analysis temperature maps from a video using high-resolution thermal camera investigated for measu...
