The development of novel biomass carriers is an option for increasing the efficiency processes at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Biomass support adhesion specific bacteria and subsequent biofilm formation. As part this work, a new type microfibrous carrier with unique sandwich structure was developed. Technologically, based on warp knitted spacer fabric created double-needle bar machine. ...

Pile loop knitted scaffold has attracted attention for being used as a three dimensional (3D) biocompatible material particularly the application of myocardial tissue engineering. In this research, nonintermingled, textured polyethylene terephthalate (PET) multifilament yarn with filament count 48 was producing pile knit structure to investigate if could provide an appropriate microenvironment ...

In this study, the auxetic performance and various physical properties of fabrics woven with braid yarn were examined. Fabrics in plain weave conventional warp weft yarn. Experimental results showed that exhibited an behavior by giving Negative Poisson's Ratio (NPR) up to a certain elongation value under tension direction. addition, it was observed NPR fabric affected thickness tightness (compa...

This study investigated the effect of fabric parameters on crack propagation in plain-woven e-glass reinforced epoxy composite plates. Through numerical analyses, contributes to understanding structure and adopting a more precise approach design materials. The yarn fiber volume fraction, shear angle, spacing were selected as variables for fabric, material properties determined each parameter us...

Various tissue-engineered vascular grafts have been studied in order to overcome the clinical disadvantages associated with conventional prostheses. However, previous tissue-engineered vascular grafts have possessed insufficient mechanical properties and thus have generally required either preoperative cellular manipulation or the use of bioreactors to improve their performance. In this study, ...
