Taguchi Method is explained in brief and one of the textile processes, called spinning process, is optimised by using Taguchi method for manufacturing optimum packing density of different technologies yarns. The effect of process variables like: lap hank, card draft, draft/doublings and drafts at speed frame, ring frame, rotor and air-jet spinning machine on packing density parameters of respec...

The variations in the mechanical and surface properties of cotton ringand OE rotor-spun yarns on exposure to different chemicals during wet processing have been studied. It is observed that the structure and yarn twist are the dominant parameters in determining the accessibility of chemicals during wet processing. The most distinct outcome of alkaline scouring of cotton yarns, in comparison to ...

Soft tissue injuries represent a substantial and growing social and economic burden. Medical fibres are commonly used to repair these injuries during surgery. Patient's outcomes are, however, not promising with around 40% of surgical repairs failing within the first few months after surgery due to poor tissue regeneration. The application of nanofibrous filaments and yarns as medical fibres and...

A new proposal for spinal cord and brain treatment and protection due to injuries and diseases is made herein. It is composed of two 20G nylon catheters with 6 lateral holes arranged circumferentially within 3 cm from the tip and a closed end. One catheter is inserted into the epidural space and the other catheter is inserted into the spinal space in two different lumbar interspaces using an 18...

Microplastics in the environment are a subject of intense research as they pose a potential threat to marine organisms. Plastic fibers from textiles have been indicated as a major source of this type of contaminant, entering the oceans via wastewater and diverse non-point sources. Their presence is also documented in terrestrial samples. In this study, the amount of microfibers shedding from sy...

Treatment of injuries to peripheral nerves after a segmental defect is one the most challenging surgicalproblems. Therapies for injury are largely ineffective. Therefore, current study wasconducted investigate effects either acellular human umbilical cord tissue powder on repair 1 cm criticalsize radial nerve guided by bovine urinary bladder matrix conduit alone or seeded with mesenchymalstem c...
