Rhodococcus rhodochrous NCIMB 11216 produced nitrile hydratase (320 nkat mg of protein(-1)) and amidase activity (38.4 nkat mg of protein(-1)) when grown on a medium containing propionitrile. These enzymes were able to hydrolyze nitrile groups of both granular polyacrylonitriles (PAN) and acrylic fibers. Nitrile groups of PAN40 (molecular mass, 40 kDa) and PAN190 (molecular mass, 190 kDa) were ...

Designed experiments based on a simplex mixture design were employed to explore the effects of three solvent components (water, formic acid, and aqueous acetic acid), extraction time, and extraction temperature for the automated microextraction of basic (cationic) dyes from acrylic fibers. Extractions were conducted by an automated liquid handling system, and dye extraction was evaluated using ...

Samples that are going to be used in this research produced such a way the threads 35/2 NM 100% acrylic. The yarns consist of [40% Acrylic (2.75 dtex unrelax), 60% (2.2 relax pilling)] mixing ratios and tow dyeing process has been applied these fibers. In fibre process, by creating 2 groups, light colored fibers, medium-colored dark fibers super dyed were total 8 obtained. Rib plain knit fabric...

The application of fibers to reinforce cementitious materials is a well-known subject. At first, asbestos fibers are used in industrial process to produce fiber reinforced cement sheets. Thereafter, various types of synthetic fibers are produced and used as asbestos substitutes. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the effect of synthetic fibers on the flexural behavior of cementitious co...

A fibrous material is characterized by its fineness, flexibility and high length/fineness ratio it used to reduce noise in indoor rooms due their porous structure. The aim of this work focused on investigating the structure two different fibers (acrylic polyester) from analysis macrostructural parameters, such as length cross-section (solid or hollow). Furthermore, degree influence these parame...

BACKGROUND Flexural strength (FS) of denture base resins (DBRs) had been improved by reinforcing it with different glass fibers. However, a limited data are available on the effect of glass fiber reinforcement with conventional heat-cured resin after prolonged water storage. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the reinforcing effect of novel S-glass and nylon fibers on the FS of ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of addition of glass fibers and titanium dioxide nanoparticles to the conventional acrylic resin. The tested parameters were monomer release, deflection at fracture, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and toughness. The modified acrylic resin groups were compared to the conventional unmodified and high impact types. The correlation betwe...
