The data included here provides a basis for understanding "Interior morphology of high-performance polyethylene fibers revealed by modulus mapping" (K.E. Strawhecker, E.J. Sandoz-Rosado, T.A. Stockdale, E.D. Laird, 2016) [1], in specific: the multi-frequency (AMFM) atomic force microscopy technique and its application to ultra-high-molecular-weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers. Furthermore, the...

In this study, pineapple leaf fiber and polyethylene terephthalate electrospun nanofibers were produced via electrospinning process. Six ratios of fiber/polyethylene terephthalate, namely 1/10; 1/7,5; 1/5; 1/1 1,3/1 prepared their wetting, structural thermal properties characterised. Wetting sample studied using contact angle measurement. X-Ray Diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry the...

Abstract Utilization of betel nut peel waste and sugarcane fiber has not been maximized so that the purpose this study was to determine characteristics mechanical properties, tensile strength bending polyethylene matrix composite with powder filler. In study, variation ratio volume used is: (0%: 10%), (10%: 0%), (5%: 5%). The fibers previously were modified 2% NaOH treatment for each fiber. res...

conclusions there was no significant lower recurrence rate of constipation with peg and lactulose combination therapy over peg alone. therefore, changing treatment from lactulose plus peg to peg alone would result in better compliance of patients for long-term therapy and would be cost effective. results the response rate to treatment was 70% in group i and 87% in group ii (p value 0.003). recu...

The purpose of this multicenter study was to evaluate the clinical performance of an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber cable for re-attachment of the osteotomized greater trochanter in hip surgery. Included in the study were 85 hips that had undergone surgery with greater trochanter osteotomy, including 50 hip arthroplasty procedures and 35 hip osteotomies. The osteotomized...

This work reports on the production and characterization of recycled high density polyethylene (R-HDPE) composites reinforced with maple fibers. The were produced by a simple dry-blending technique followed compression molding. Furthermore, fiber surface treatment was performed using coupling agent (maleated polyethylene, MAPE) in solution. FTIR, TGA/DTG, analyses to confirm any changes functio...

We are developing a family of fiber-optic sensors called Sencils (sensory cilia), which are disposable, minimally invasive, and can provide in vivo monitoring of various analytes for several weeks. The key element is a percutaneous optical fiber that permits reliable spectroscopic measurement of chemical reactions in a nano-engineered polymeric matrix attached to the implanted end of the fiber....

As people in the 21st century become increasingly environmentally aware, environmentally friendly products have come into focus. As such, environmentally friendly textiles and eco-textiles have become an international trend in research and development. Poly(lactic acid) fiber, which is biodegradable, holds much promise, but it is difficult to deep dye. This study used chitosan, succine anhydrid...

We propose an all-fiber-based dual-modal imaging system that combines noncontact photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The PAT remotely measures photoacoustic (PA) signals with a 1550-nm laser on the surface of a sample by utilizing a fiber interferometer as an ultrasound detector. The fiber-based OCT, employing a swept-source laser centered at 1310 nm, shares t...
