BACKGROUND Allergic contact dermatitis caused by polyester resin is considered to be rare. OBJECTIVES To describe 11 new patients diagnosed with occupational contact allergy to components of polyester resin systems in 1994-2009. METHODS Data on occupations, patch test results, symptoms and exposure to polyester products were retrieved from patient files, covering 1994 to February 2015. RE...

Replacement of dietary lilt by sucrose polyester reduces fat intake. However, little is known about the effccts of sucrose polyester on gastrointestinal function. To investigate the effect on gastric acid secretion and on release of cholecystokinin into plasma, we perfused eight healthy male volunteers intraduodenally with sucrose polyester, digestible fat, or saline on separate days in random ...

Prolonged drying times of terry fabrics is a problem as they can not be re-used until completely dry. To resolve this issue, we have designed sandwich polyester in the mid-layer with low moisture content that could reduce time excellent wicking properties. These are widely used activewear and sportswear. The effect different softeners on management properties weft-knitted fabrics’ for various a...

This article describes the novel possibility of the polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) surface modification by plasma treatment. Moreover, this modified polyester could be component for the composite material (with hyaluronic acid) used in the wound healing. In this study, the experimental methods: FT-IR spectroscopy, the contact angle measurement, Xray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanni...

Yarn properties can be altered through blending fibres. According to the requirement different properties can be achieved by different blending ratios. Among the different blends cotton and polyester, cotton and wool, wool and acrylic, cotton and nylon, jute and acrylic, cotton and rayon etc are common. Flax and polyester has been a popular blend now-adays and depicts excellent properties than ...

The fiber, dye and dyebath variables which affect the batch dyeing of polyester with disperse dyes are discussed, as are some of the chemical properties of disperse dyes which influence the normal conditions of dye application, stripping and reduction clearing. Discussion of the continuous dyeing of polyester is deferred to a iater chapter on dyeing polyester/cellulosic

Effects of hyperbranched polyesters on kinetics of the reaction between hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) were investigated. HTPB and IPDI were in-situ cured in the presence of two different hyperbranched polyesters, stearic acid ester-terminated hyperbranched polyester (SHPE) and acetate-terminated hyperbranched polyester (AHPE). The curing processes w...

In a previous article,1 the development and molecular characterization of three polyesters from Ncarbobenzyloxy-L-glutamic acid (ZGluOH) were reported. The polymers were a linear, heterochain polyester (ZGluOH and ethylene glycol), a crosslinked heterochain polyester (ZGluOH and diglycidyl ether of 1,4-butanediol), and a crosslinked, heterochain aromatic polyester (ZGluOH and diglycidyl ether o...

In the present paper, a study of the effects of fabric weight, fiber cross-sectional shapes (round, hollow and trilobal) and presence of reinforcing material on the compression properties (initial thickness, percentage compression, percentage thickness loss and percentage compression resilience) of polyester needle punched industrial nonwoven fabrics is presented. It was found that for fabrics ...
