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...

Plant fiber reinforced hybrid polymer composites have had broad applications recently because of their lower cost advantages, weight, and biodegradable nature. The present work studies the influence reinforcing giant reed concentration in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for physical, mechanical, thermal characteristics determines optimum loading using an artificial neural network (ANN) scheme....

Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is characterized by basic visual and high order visual-spatial dysfunctions. In this study, we investigated long-distance deafferentation processes within the frontal-parietal-occipital network in ten PCA patients using a MRI-PET combined approach. Objective voxel-based [18F]FDG-PET imaging measured metabolic changes in single patients. Comprehensive investigati...

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...

Radio frequency (RF) interference and gradient induced eddy currents have been a major challenge in building a simultaneous PET/MRI system, a new carbon fiber composite material is found to be a good RF shield while introducing negligible gradient eddy currents. It also provides excellent structural support for the PET detector components. This material is therefore promising for the design of ...

The use of virgin and recycled plastic macro fibers as reinforcing elements in construction materials has recently gained increasing attention from researchers. Specifically, have become more attractive owing to their large-scale availability, negligible cost, low environmental footprint. In this work, we investigate the benefits related fully-recycled synthetic dispersed reinforcement Fiber Re...

Abstract In this article, the consistent pattern of mass transfer in process drying granular polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycaproamide (PCA), and polyamide 66 (PA 66) were studied. A modified quasi-stationary method was used to analyze data. The characteristic time hydrodynamic intensity index obtained based on experimental Some features water sorption desorption by fiber-forming polymers
