Reduction of Pesticide Residues on the Australian Wool Clip

The focus of the Australian wool industry's program to reduce pesticide residues on the wool clip by 50 percent by mid 1997 is to increase awareness of pesticide residues among wool growers and demonstrate how select chemical and management options can pr

The Effect of Water on Microrganisms Associated with Cotton

Research at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine on the effect of water on microorganisms associated with cotton demonstrated that water is a critical factor in bacterial growth. The experiment studied bacterial growth in cultures of liquid media, on cotton in solution, and on cotton maintained at a range of relative humidi..

Yellowing Behavior and Chemical Compositions of Silk Proteins Obtained from Silkworm Reared on an Artificial Diet.

Researchers compared the yellowing behavior, chemical composition, X-ray structure, and disscolution properties of silk fibroin and sericin produced by silkworms reared on an artificial diet with those of silkworms reared on a mulberry leaf diet. An experiment raised silkworms of an artifical diet (A), consisting primarily of tofu cake, o..

EFS Conference Presents Developments in Fibre Selection Science.

The ninth annual Cotton Incorporated conference on Engineered Fiber Selection (EFS), held in May 1996, featured 47 speakers who discussed recent development in cotton fiber selection for specific end uses. The modular EFS system includes interfaces for a

최근 폴리우레탄 섬유의 동향

본고는 스판덱스사인 "오페론"사의 특징과 최근 붐이 일고 있는 스트레치 직물의 염색가공시 유의점에 대해서 서술하였다. "오페론"사는 폴리에테르계의 스판덱스로, 높은 신축성, 회복력, 열세트성 등을 가지고 있는데, 이 실을 다른 섬유와 혼용하여 직물이나 편성물을 만들면 제품에 신축성, 형태 유지성, 성형성 등이 부여된다. "오페론"사의 물성 및 타입에 따..

The Importance of Lyocell.

the popularity of lyocell fibers has resulted in increased production capacity. The production capacity of lyocell is forecast to increase from 60,000 tons per year to 100,000 tons per yearn by 2000. Its abiity to fibrillate makes lyocell suitable for the manufacture of fabrics with unique surface properties. Fibrillation, however, can ca..

ASTM method for detrmining free formaldehyde in emulsion polymers

The reduction of formaldehyde in emulsions used as nonwoven fabric binders is desirable to reduce the irritation airborne formaldehyde can cause to eyes, nose and throat. ASTM D5910 provides a consistent approach to detemination of formaldehyde in emulsions. It has been tested by a group of emulsion manufactures and approved as an industr..

렌징 료셀 - 섬유공업에 흥미를 부여하는 섬유

Lenzing AG는 1995년 5월, 렌징 료셀(L 료셀)을 2만톤/년 생산할 수 있는 설비를 건설하기로 결정하였고, 1997년에 생산을 시작할 예정이다. 본보는 이 섬유가 섬유공업에서 만족하게 사용될 수 있는지를 알아보기 위해 안정성, 신규성, 성능에 대해 알아보았다. 환경보전/안정성 : L 료셀 제조 공정은 N-메틸모플린 N 옥사이드(NMMO)를 이용한 폐쇄 시스템이다. NMM..

Towards Zero-Emission with High-Temperature Filter Media of Fine and Ultrafine Fibers.

Separation filters have increasing application in air purification. The most important criteria in the development of these filters is the type of fiber selected. Fiber surface properties are critical because dust separation occurs at the surface. Fiber count, crimp, coss section, and finish affect the efficiency of surface filtration. Th..

Advanced Systems for Manufacturing Synthetic Leather

Needled substrate fabrics used to manufacture synthetic leather must have high fabric densities, resistance to delamination, firm fire bonding, surfaces without scale-like effects and needle marking, and high tensile strengths. The opening, blending, car
