Post-consumer PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles have been recycled into fiber and sheet products ever since the Containers and Packing Recycling Law came into effect in 1997. There has been a growing need, however, for a chemical recycling process. In this process, post-consumer PET bottles are recycled into monomers that can be used as feed stocks for the recycled production of PET bott...

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of adding plastic bottle fibers soil-cement mixtures and possible improvements generated by addition a blend two types additives, namely, additive 1 (waterproofing improver) 2 (adhesion enhancer), in compactability shear strength parameters soil-cement-plastic fiber mixtures, considering tropical residual soil. The used this are made Polyethylene Terep...

Abstract Consumer choice and behavior are changing focusing on comfortable clothing along with fitting. Elastic yarn or fabric is necessary to achieve this comfortableness. By making elastic using material in production, cloths produced proper stretchability recovery. For that, core-spun was used, but due a lack of recovery performance, dual has been developed. Different elastane ratios, linear...

One of the practical ways to overcome adverse environmental effects plastic bottle waste is implement bottles into concrete, one most widely used materials in construction industry. Plastic are mainly made polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and can be as a fiber reinforce concrete. In recent years, PET fiber-reinforced concrete (PFRC) has attracted researcher attention, several experimental studi...

The purpose of this review is to clarify the definition of "natural" as it pertains to commercial pet food and to summarize the scientific findings related to natural ingredients in pet foods and natural diets on the impact of pet health and physiology. The term "natural," when used to market commercial pet foods or pet food ingredients in the United States, has been defined by the Association ...

A case-control study examining diet and lifestyle variables to generate hypotheses of potential risk factors for chronic renal failure in pet cats was conducted in five private practices in Texas, USA and at the Texas A&M University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. A telephone questionnaire was used to gather information from owners of 38 cats newly diagnosed with CRF between December 1994...

INTRODUCTION White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whether WMHs are associated with the decline of functional neural networks in AD is debated. METHOD Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and WMH were assessed in 78 subjects with increased amyloid levels on AV-45 positron emission tomography (PET) in different clinical stages of AD....

There is a worldwide interest in using fibers of different types in concrete mixtures. In this regard, as the use of PET fibers has gradually increased during the last decade, this study aims to investigate the effects of PET fibers on the mechanical properties of hardened concrete and the workability of fresh concrete. To this end, different contents of PET fibers (PC= %0, %0.5, %1 and %1.5) a...
