Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) fibers with two molecular weights were prepared via electrospinning process. In this process, the concentration of spinning depended drastically on the gelation process. Also, it was experimentally smaller than obtained concentration in the solution entanglement number approach (SENA). Proof of this incompatibility was explained by the properties of PVDF a...

Regarding the importance of ring spinning method among spinning systems, great potentials exist for research about on the improvement of the quality and properties of ring spun yarn. This study aims to improve yarn quality by changing the shape and dimensions of spinning triangle through forming a groove in the middle zone of the front darfting &#10roller with a curvature of 5 to 7 mm. For the ...

Juvenile hormone (JH) is considered the prime endogenous signal for the induction of queen development in honey bees (Apis mellifera L.). At the beginning of the last (5th) larval stadium, worker corpora allata synthesize less JH than queen corpora allata as a consequence of a limited production of JH precursors and a caste- and stage-specific block of the terminal step in JH biosynthesis. As p...

Steady-state shear flow of cotton cellulose dissolved in a NaOH complex solution (8% NaOH/6.5% thiourea/8% urea aqueous solution) was studied over a large range of concentrations (0-6.2%) and temperatures (0-20 oC), to guide the spinning conditions. The formation of cellulose aggregates was favored when either the cellulose content or temperature was increased. The solution flow curves exhibite...
