The gas diffusion layer (GDL) is vital to the performance and durability of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The GDL plays an important role in water management, catalyst efficiency and conductivity of DMFC. The GDL consists of a carbon substrate that can either be woven or non-woven. The various substrates used to produce GDLs result in very different physical characteristics, particularly su...

Nonwoven geotextiles are commonly used in filtration applications. For some applications, however, a nonwoven geotextile filter may not have the required mechanical properties to withstand deformations, and an additional woven geotextile is usually employed in design. While reinforcement is an important function expected from these two-layer geotextile systems, filtration is another function th...

Formation of woven and lamellar bone in the adult skeleton can be induced through mechanical loading. Although much is known about the morphological appearance and structural properties of the newly formed bone, the molecular responses to loading are still not well understood. The objective of our study was to use a microarray to distinguish the molecular responses between woven and lamellar bo...

Four decades ago in Silent Spring, Rachel Carson (1962) wove together a fabric of evidence suggesting that parts of the modern chemical revolution were having unintended consequences, undermining human and wildlife health in unexpected ways. At the time that fabric was more Chantilly lace than Afghan rug, with the scientific pattern defined as much by the holes as by the threads of connecting e...

Abstract The complex and variant patterns of costume were important parts the human cultures in history. Generally, early dress beings started from non-woven fabrics such as grass leaves, barks, beast coats fur, other natural resources, developed into woven cloth products fiber thread with warp weft structure.The clothing variants are cultural representation ethnic groups, showing different tra...

In this paper, stainless steel core yarn was selected as a conductive yarn to produce conductive fabrics. The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of twill and some diced woven fabrics with different metal densities were measured by free space measurement technique at horizontal polarization of the antenna. It was found that woven fabric samples shielded well in high frequency band, namely i...
