All-polyamide composite coated-fabric (APCCF) was used as an alternative material for the construction of textile-bioreactors (TBRs), which are prepared as a replacement of the traditional stainless steel bioreactors (SSBRs) or concrete-based bioreactors. The material characteristics, as well as the fermentation process performance of the APCCF-TBR, was compared with a TBR made using the polyvi...

The objective of this study is to investigate and assess the use of in situ deposit nanosilver (nAg2O) or nanocopper oxides (nCuO) into nonwoven polyester fabric (NWPF) as a safe and effective antibacterial filter of pollution from domestic wastewater. The bactericidal effect of both nAg2O and nCuO was examined against Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi) and Gram-positiv...

Introduction The AtriClip left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion device (AtriCure Inc, Westchester, OH) is a surgical LAA closure device frequently used in conjunction with thoracoscopyguided mini-MAZE surgery to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). It is composed of 2 parallel titanium bars, which provide constant tension when deployed. The AtriClip is coated with polyester fabric, which promotes ti...

The sensitivity of chitosan to environmental conditions and processing can stress its structure cause degradation this polymer on various application carriers. stability in a designed textile standard polyester fabric with was analysed multiple washing process detergent by studying the properties before after 10 cycles. coated alkali treated fabrics. Washing performed an ECE A reference at 60 °...

In this research, the modification of different polyester structures (fabrics and knits) by biopolymer chitosan was studied to evaluate effects structure treatments on particulate pollution wastewater. The pristine chitosan-polyester fabric knit composites were washed cyclically with standard ECE A detergent at 60 °C. laser diffraction technique used characterize particle size washing wastewate...

Chemical recycling of textiles holds the potential to yield materials equal quality and value as products from virgin feedstock. Selective depolymerization textile polyester (PET) regenerated cellulose/PET blends, by means alkaline hydrolysis, renders monomers PET while cellulose remains in fiber form. Here, we present mechanism reactivity during hydrolysis. Part I this article series focuses o...

Case Description. This report describes the evolution, necessary adaptations, and complications in the treatment of a 9-year-old child with primary congenital lymphedema. Description of Intervention. The clinical treatment of lymphedema was started in the first year of the patient's life and for five years she was only treated using the Godoy & Godoy technique of cervical stimulation. Three yea...

Zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE) is usually applied clinically as dental filling material for thermal insulation and temporary restoration. The objective of this study was to use ZOE as a composite matrix and low melting-point polyester fibers or fabrics as reinforcement. The added fibers or fabrics increased the composite materials’ compressive load by 250 N and 290 N, respectively. Fiber length and t...
