The inverse magnetostrictive effect is an effective property for energy harvesting; the material needs to have large magnetostriction and ease of mass production. Fe-Co alloys being magnetostrictive materials have favorable characteristics which are high strength, ductility, and excellent workability, allowing easy fabrication of Fe-Co alloy fibers. In this study, we fabricated magnetostrictive...

Received Jan 5, 2018 Revised Mar 5, 2018 Accepted Mar 20, 2018 In the medical field, electrodes are commonly used either to retrieve signals or to conduct current. Most of the off-the-shelf surface electrodes are made from metal or rigid substrates. This paper presents a work on designing a new flexible dry electrodes using poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate and silver by m...

The solid-solid reactions of thiosemicarbazide with 4-formylantipyrine, 2-acetylpyrrole and camphor were performed to afford the thiosemicarbazones 1-3 which underwent hetero-cyclization with phenacyl bromide to furnish the corresponding thiazole derivatives 4-6. The yields of the reactions are quantitative in all cases and the products do not require further purification. A series of 5-arylazo...

Two important properties-the low surface free energy of polybenzoxazine (PBZ) and the photocatalysis-induced self-cleaning property of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles-are combined to develop a promising approach for oil/water separation. They are integrated into a multifunctional superhydrophobic and superoleophilic material, PBZ/TiO2 modified polyester non-woven fabrics (PBZT), through a...

Subjective wear trials have been carried out to determine thermal comfort performance of knitted sports garments whose objective thermal comfort parameters are determined in a preceding study in fabric form. Physiological measurements (skin and microclimate temperature, microclimate relative humidity, heart rate and sweat amount) and psychological rating results (coolness, dampness and comfort)...

This paper discusses the influence of core sheath ratio, twist and loop length on moisture management properties cotton/polyester spun knitted fabrics. Box behnken, a three level- variable factorial design was used to study interactive effects dependent variables. Fifteen single jersey fabrics were according statistical run tested for physical properties. Increase in polyester percent increases...

In this study, the effects of incorporating recycled photopolymer-plate residues from a packaging flexography process into polyester-glass fiber composites were examined. Ternary with an unsaturated polyester matrix elastomer particles evaluated using two types glass fibers: in forms fabric bidirectional fibers and blanket multidirectional fibers. The prepared by hand lay-up lamination differen...

Abstract Fabric defect detection is anomaly detection, which widely studied in the textile industry. Like most tasks, there are some problems hindering results, such as class imbalance, defective sample scarcity, and feature selection. This paper proposes a method applying depthwise separable convolution autoencoder on dimensionality reduction one-class classifier support vector data descriptio...

low temperature plasma technology is well established in surface modification of polymer materials on industrial scale. this method modifies surface properties of polymers without chemicals, manual work and reducing chemicals and energy consumption. in this study, low pressure plasma treatment was used to develop hydrophilic properties of polyethylene terephthalate (pet) fabrics. it was found t...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a popular alternative technique to surgical valve replacement. However, the biological valve tissue used in these devices appears to be fragile material in the long term particularly due being folded for low diameter catheter insertion purposes and when released in a calcified environment with irregular geometry. Textile polyester materi...
